Kevin Gibson

Ethics and Business

An Introduction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this lively undergraduate textbook, Kevin Gibson explores the relationship between ethics and the world of business, and how we can serve the interests of both. Using case studies drawn from around the world he examines topics including stakeholder responsibilities, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and women and business. His book captures the dynamic nature of business ethics in the era of globalization where jobs can be outsourced, products are made of components from scores of countries and sweatshops often provide the cheap goods the public demands.
