Reviews / Votes
«This handy but informative book is authored by the 'Interfaculty Group in Business Ethics' of the Community of European Management Schools, an association of management schools in Europe. Many figures, tables and boxes allow for a fast orientation with respect to different approaches, case studies and agreements in the wide field of business ethics. All contributions are written on the introductory level; they are furnished with references which enable the reader to delve into issues of interest.» (Michaela Haase, Zeitschrift für Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik)«This is an important book for anyone wishing to understand business ethics. The authors make a sincere and effective attempt to provide the analytical framework and specific research for a critique of the foundations of business ethics.» (Richard F.
