| an introduction to business ethics: Business Ethics Andrew Kernohan, 2015-09-30 Business Ethics: An Interactive Introduction connects the academic to the practical, extracting the basic elements of rigorous philosophical ethics into a format that can be understood and applied in the business world. Concepts such as utility, duty, and sustainability are given practical value and connected to examples and methods familiar to business people. Classical ethical theories are surveyed, as are modern perspectives on justice, equality, and the environment. Where possible, quantitative examples and methods are used to show that ethics need not be subjective or vague. Kernohan provides an overview of the basic tools of ethical decision-making and shows how each can be used to resolve moral problems in business environments. Readers are then invited to apply those tools by completing a series of online exercises, receiving immediate objective feedback on their success. The book and its accompanying exercises thus work in concert, offering a unique opportunity for interactive self-directed learning. |
| an introduction to business ethics: Introduction to Business Ethics Gilad James, 2023-05-16 Business ethics is an important aspect of modern-day business operations. It refers to the moral principles and values that dictate how business activities should be conducted. The concept of business ethics encompasses a broad range of practices, including transparency, honesty, respect for human rights, fair labor practices, environmental stewardship, and ethical leadership. Business ethics is important for both the internal and external stakeholders of an organization. Internally, businesses that prioritize ethical practices have been found to enjoy higher employee morale, productivity, and overall job satisfaction. Externally, ethical business practices can help build a positive reputation, foster customer loyalty, and increase long-term profitability. There are several critical factors that have contributed to the emergence of business ethics as a cornerstone of modern business practices. These factors include growing public awareness and concern about ethical issues, increasing regulatory and legal requirements, and evolving social and moral norms. This has led to the development of corporate social responsibility, which recognizes the responsibility of organizations to act in a socially responsible manner, taking into account the impact of their activities on the environment, society, and the economy. In conclusion, business ethics has become a fundamental concept in contemporary business operations, with its contribution going beyond just financial profits. It emphasizes the role of organizations in society and emphasizes the importance of operating in a just and equitable manner that respects the interests of all stakeholders. Overall, businesses that prioritize ethical practices demonstrate a commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices that promote the well-being of society as a whole. The success of these businesses is rooted in their ability to balance profitability with a wider social agenda. As businesses continue to evolve and adapt to an ever-changing landscape, it is clear that business ethics will remain a cornerstone of responsible and sustainable business practices. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Definition of Business Ethics, Importance of Business Ethics Ethical Theories: Consequentialist Theories, Non-Consequentialist Theories Ethical Decision Making: The Ethical Decision Making Process, The Role of Ethics in Decision Making Corporate Social Responsibility: What is Corporate Social Responsibility, The Importance of Corporate Social Responsibility, The Role of Stakeholders in Corporate Social Responsibility Ethics and Management: Leadership and Ethics, Employee Ethics, Ethics in Marketing, Ethics in Finance, Ethics in Information Technology Ethics and Sustainability: What is Sustainability, Why Sustainability is Important, The Role of Business Ethics in Achieving Sustainability Ethics and Globalization: Cultural Issues in Business Ethics, Global Business Ethics Ethics and Risk Management: Ethics and Risk, Ethical Risk Assessment Ethics and Law: Legal Issues in Business Ethics, Regulatory Compliance Ethics and Philanthropy: Charitable Giving and Business Ethics, Corporate Philanthropy and Social Responsibility Conclusion: Summary of Topics Covered and The Future of Business Ethics.

| an introduction to business ethics: Business Ethics J. S. Nelson, Lynn A. Stout, 2022 An authoritative and practical guide to business ethics, written in an accessible-question-and answer format In today's turbulent business climate, business ethics are more important than ever. Surveys of employees show that misconduct is on the rise. Cover stories reporting indictments, prosecutions, and penalties imposed for unethical business conduct appear almost daily. Legislatures pass requirements elevating the levels of punishment and their enforcement against corporations and individuals. Organizations face pressure to design and implement effective ethics and compliance programs. As a result, businesses and businesspeople are increasingly worried that their conduct might cross lines that put their wealth and reputations at risk. Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know (R) explains what those lines are, how not to cross them, and what to do when they are crossed. Written for both businesspeople facing real-life dilemmas and students studying ethical questions, this succinct book uniquely surveys materials from moral philosophy, behavioral science, and corporate law, and shares practical advice. Experts J.S. Nelson and Lynn A. Stout cover a wide array of essential topics including the legal status of corporations, major ethical traps in modern business, negotiations, whistleblowing and liability, and best practices. Written in a short question-and-answer style, this resource provides engaging and readable introductions to the basic principles of business ethics, and an invaluable guide for dealing with ethical dilemmas. |
| an introduction to business ethics: Ethics and Business Bart Wernaart, 2021-05-26 Ethics in business is not a new topic and has been intensely discussed since the emergence of the so-called limited companies. However, privatization, technological and digital innovation, changes in moral perception, economic and financial crises and globalization stir a more recent debate on how companies should behave in our societies. This book starts from the position that ethics in business should imply an open debate on norms and values, using a sound methodology to get there. Ethics should cross borders: not only the borders of a country, but also the borders of someone’s moral imagination. Ethics should not only be about harmony but also about conflict (and how to deal with that). Ethics should be realistic and well substantiated by academic research. Ethics should be used to understand the complexity of the world, and the challenges companies struggle with on various levels. Therefore, this book is composed of three parts in which ethics is discussed at different levels. In part one we discuss ethics at the level of the individual. In part two we discuss ethics and business. In the third part, ethics is discussed in the context of a globalized world. In each chapter, we discuss the ethical complications of each topic from various – and preferably opposing – perspectives. Each perspective is methodologically and academically substantiated. Each chapter ends with an extensive literature list in which the original sources are listed for further reading. Furthermore, at the end of each chapter, a summary is written in which the most important definitions and viewpoints are highlighted. The frequent use of colorful and bold examples make this an accessible read for bachelor and master students at business schools and professionals in international business. |

Robinson, 2021-12-09 This book offers students a philosophical introduction to the ethical foundations of business management. It combines lessons from Kant with virtue ethics and also touches upon additional approaches such as utilitarianism.

| an introduction to business ethics: The Rise of Business Ethics Bernard Mees, 2019-11-28 In 1973, Daniel Bell argued that corporations in post-industrial societies increasingly needed to behave in accord with widely accepted social norms, particularly in terms of ethical behavior and social responsibility. Yet widespread criticism of business behavior was not an invention of the 1960s and 70s or a product of changing commercial norms. The key feature historically has been business scandal. Understandings of how the field of business ethics has emerged are undeveloped, however. This book is the first attempt to explain the conditions which saw a focus develop on business ethics especially in the 1960s and 70s, and how the broader field developed to encompass related notions such as corporate governance, corporate social responsibility, ethical leadership, sustainable business and responsible management education. The Rise of Business Ethics provides an introduction and analysis of the key developments in contemporary business ethics by examining them in terms of their diachronic development – the key thinkers, the key issues, the key institutions and how they each contributed to contemporary understandings of business ethics, governance and practice. Addressing the topic from a European as well as North American perspective, The Rise of Business Ethics will be of interest to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of business ethics, business and society, business history, organization studies and political economy. |
| an introduction to business ethics: Business Ethics Patrick O'Sullivan, Mark Smith, Mark Esposito, 2012 A series of high-profile events in recent years have highlighted the growing need to cover ethical issues in international business and raise awareness of the responsibilities that need to be integrated into all levels and all subjects. Utilising the knowledge from a wide selection of expert contributors and illuminated by a case study for each chapter, this comprehensive volume makes a compelling case for business ethics to become an integrated consideration across the business disciplines, rather than an afterthought in the curriculum. |
| an introduction to business ethics: Accounting and Business Ethics Ken McPhail, Diane Walters, 2009-06-02 Despite the enormous impact of various accounting scandals on the accounting profession, the general malaise amongst the profession more broadly, and the significant legislative and institutional reforms that have taken place as a result, there are still surprisingly few textbooks on accounting ethics. This concise introductory text takes a broad view of ethics and accounting, taking into account contemporary social trends, such as globalization and terrorism. Rather than delineating codes of professional conduct, this text pushes the reader towards an understanding of the nature of ethical dilemmas and the factors that influence the ways in which accountants frame ethical questions. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on developing thinking about the different kinds of ethical questions that could be posed in relation to accounting. The second part focuses more explicitly on accounting practice, exploring the ethical function of accounting in relation to the market economy, ethics in relation to the accounting profession, and the ethics of the international accounting harmonization project. Accounting and Business Ethics is a compact introduction aimed at both students and practitioners who want to understand more about the ethics of accounting. |

| an introduction to business ethics: Above the Bottom Line Robert C. Solomon, 2004 ABOVE THE BOTTOM LINE focuses on the issues of the individual in the business environment, rather than focusing on large-scale, ethical decision making. Business is defended as a necessary and valuable component of contemporary life, a range of entrepreneurial ventures that should be approached in a principled, thoughtful, and honest manner. Looking at the importance of corporate culture, students are given direction in making personal and professional decisions at work, relating these to the concepts of social responsibility, employer and employee rights, whistle-blowing, corporate governance, bankruptcy, and many other timely business issues. This text explores moral choices within the business environment, and considers current business policy issues. It is also a guide on how to think about business and a life in business, using vignettes from history and bits of literature and anthropology to broaden the students' outlook on commercial endeavors. |

| an introduction to business ethics: Business Ethics Today Peter A. Lillback, 2011-02 Business Ethics Today: Foundations is an anthology produced from a Business Ethics Conference which took place in June, 2010. Underlying the Conference and this text is the belief that the Protestant Reformation created a culture for business that is fundamental to the commercial world as we know it today. As a society moves away from the acceptance of Christianity, the principles arising from this culture are at risk. Foundations enables a reflection on the core beliefs as articulated in the Westminster Confession of Faith and their impact on doing business. Men like Peter Lillback, Chuck Colson, Wayne Grudem, and Philip Ryken have each written chapters engaging in these important discussions in Business Ethics. With these men and many others, Foundations is a must read for anyone passionate about doing business in God's world. |
