Produktbeschreibung

This updated introduction to business ethics offers a clear and accessible framework for understanding the important and complex ethical issues facing business in the contemporary world. Kevin Gibson explains ethical concepts in plain language, showing how terms such as responsibility, autonomy, justice, equality, rights, and beneficence are central to the ways in which business is and should be conducted. He provides numerous examples and discusses cases including VW, Wells Fargo, the Boeing 737 Max, and the exploitation of rare earth minerals, and he pays special attention to recent and emerging issues such as the gig economy, internet commerce, racial and gender justice, and concerns about the impact of business on global climate change. His lively and comprehensive book will give readers the tools to identify and understand a range of problematic ethical issues that affect us all.

Autorenporträt

Having worked in the service industry for over 40 years, Kevin has now decided to put pen to paper to write the stories he used to tell his young son out on walks in the countryside. From a working-class background where hard work was a must and family came first, average exam results lead to working at the local colliery but only to find a more enjoyable career in pubs and restaurants. Writing the book brought back memories of his son and soon to be told to his first grandchild, he looks forward to the next few instalments.
