Produktbeschreibung
This second edition of Ronald Duska's 2007 book Contemporary Reflections in Business Ethics contains many of the fine articles in the original edition as well as 20 new entries, and two papers that have not been previously published. The editors have included new introductions to each part and an epilogue outlining why and in what ways Duska’s work is prescient to present and future research in business ethics as well as to its contributions to practice in commerce.

The late Ronald Duska was an important scholar in business ethics, and his work on an Aristotelian approach is innovative for this field. Moreover, Duska is one of the few business ethics scholars to work on issues in finance and the financial series industry, despite their central roles in mature economies in the United States, Europe, and East Asia. Those contributions, included in this second edition, most for the first time, are part of his seminal thinking in this field to which few other scholars have participated.

Thus, this new edition is important not merely to honor a distinguished scholar in business ethics, but also for his philosophical thinking that is central to new thinking in this field.

Autorenporträt
ORIGINAL AUTHOR:

Ronald F. Duska, who began his career as a philosopher, has, over the last 30 years, established himself as one of the leading scholars in the field of business ethics. In the past decade, he has concentrated on ethics in the financial services industry because of his affiliation with The American College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, an institution that specializes in educating financial services professionals. This affiliation gives Duska regular interaction with producers, managers, and top executives in the financial services industry. This book includes a selection of the articles Duska has written throughout the years on ethics, business ethics, teaching ethics, agency theory, postmodernism, employee rights, and ethics in accounting and the financial services industry. The articles reflect Duska’s underlying philosophical concerns and their application to the real-world challenges of practitioners—an overarching method that might be called anAristotelian common-sense approach to ethical decision making.
