    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The book covers many basic philosopical ethical concpets while tracing the historical background on ethics as a field. The authors move on to explain the significance of ethics for modern business and promote the advancement of business ethics as field and practice. The book tracks global developments such as the growing emphasis on triple bottom line reporting and socio-economic implications of corporate governance frameworks while addressing problems particularly relevant to the
    southern African context such as managing issues surrounding HIV/AIDs in the workplace. It also offers practical guidance in the form of step by step strategies that managers can follow when faced with ethical dilemmas or when confronted with the tasks of formulating codes of ethics and
    institutionalising ethics within corporations.
