Description
The book will provide a comprehensive introduction and guide to the theories underpinning, and the current practice of Business Ethics. It will offer a critical introduction to a highly complex and muddled field. This is quite a specialised area and many of the existing books in this area are highly idealised and partial - implying that the area is more simple and straightforward than it is or coming at the text from a particular viewpoint representing the ethical interests of a specific group. This text seeks to offer a true textbook for the field, covering all the major theories and perspectives in the field without taking any particular partisan approach. It seeks to offer a comprehensive and accessible view of the subject area reflecting the complexity and uncertainty of the topic area while providing students with the information they need.
