Ronald F. Duska, who began his career as a philosopher, has, over
the last 30 years, established himself as one of the leading
scholars in the field of business ethics. In the past decade, he
has concentrated on ethics in the financial services industry
because of his affiliation with The American College in Bryn Mawr,
Pennsylvania, an institution that specializes in educating
financial services professionals. This affiliation gives Duska
regular interaction with producers, managers, and top executives in
the financial services industry. This book includes a selection of
the articles Duska has written throughout the years on ethics,
business ethics, teaching ethics, agency theory, postmodernism,
employee rights, and ethics in accounting and the financial
services industry. The articles reflect Duska's underlying
philosophical concerns and their application to the real-world
challenges of practitioners.

In this volume three of the leading scholars in business ethics
have arranged a selection of articles examining the intersection of
psychology and ethics in relation to organizational concerns. In
searching for appropriate business ethics for the 21st century, it
is imperative that we continue to embrace a range of inter-related
disciplines such as psychology and ethics, but also areas including
philosophy, politics, religion, organizational studies, financial
and managerial accounting, and many others. This volume serves as
an example of interdisciplinary scholarship. In addition, this
volume includes articles on religion in business, academic ethics
(as an emerging field within organizational ethics), and corporate
values in practice.
