Opis

This book introduces the student to the philosophical underpinnings of business ethics then translates this theory into practical terms, demonstrating the moral implications of the decisions managers make. The new edition features new material on global ethics, the financial downturn, sustainability, and ethics in a digital age.

Gilbert has also worked to include more student-friendly features:

• Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter provide a roadmap for what is covered
• Cases demonstrate real-world scenarios where students can grapple with real moral ambiguity
• Discussion questions to challenge students to see different moral perspectives, and practice good decision-making
