The systematic study of business ethics began in the late 1970s.
Since that time, business ethics has moved into the study of how
self-interest, personal interests, national interests, and fairness
fit together in a business context.
This volume examines traditional ethical theories as well as
contemporary trends in the study of business ethics. Ethical,
economic, and legal concepts are used to help the reader understand
business ethics issues. The authors analyze major ethical issues in
the corporate environment today -- among them, accountability,
affirmative action, comparable worth, conflicts of interest, moral
agency, takeovers, employment, pollution, health and safety, sexual
harassment, and whistle blowing.
This volume also presents biographical sketches of issue makers
and ethicists, sample corporate codes of ethics, lists of print and
nonprint resources, and a directory of organizations that address
ethical concerns.
