Events such as Trafigura's illegal dumping of toxic waste in C
te d Ivoire and BP's environmentally disastrous oil spill in the
Gulf of Mexico have highlighted ethical issues in international
business at a time when business leaders, academics and business
schools were reflecting on their own responsibilities following the
global financial crisis. The scope and scale of the global
operations of multinational businesses means that decisions taken
in different parts of the world have far reaching consequences
beyond the national settings where employees are located or where
firms are registered and as such, an awareness of these
responsibilities needs to be integrated into all levels and all
subjects.
Using four guiding principles a critical multi-level approach
rooted in the tradition of European social theory, a comparative
and international perspective, a global rather than just a European
or American stand point and engaging with subject-specific issues
this book aims to 'mainstream' business ethics into the work of
teachers and students in business schools. This comprehensive
volume brings together contributions from a range of experts in
different areas of business studies thereby facilitating and
encouraging a move away from business ethics being a box to be
ticked to being an integrated consideration across the business
disciplines.
This impressive book brings ethical considerations back to the
heart of the business curriculum and in doing so, provides a
companion for the progressive business student throughout their
university career.
