Corporate Ethics and Corporate Governance (2007)

Corporations are under fire. Hardly a day goes by that executive conduct doesn't appear as a topic--or, more accurately, as a problem--addressed by the media. This has lead to increased public pressure on corporations and many are reacting by publicly assuming their corporate responsibility.

This book represents an introduction to and overview of the diverse facets of the ethical challenges confronting companies today. It introduces executives, students and interested observers to the complex trends and developments in business ethics. Coverage presents industry-specific topics in ethics. The book also provides a general, interdisciplinary survey of the ethical dimensions of management and business.
