Business Ethics: People, Profits, and the Planet by Gibson, Kevin;

Hosszú leírás:

Business Ethics offers a structured set of readings

with a clear conceptual progression; classic and current topics; and issues that matter to students. But that's not all: The instructor's resource CD-ROM contains lesson plans, and discussion, essay and multi-choice questions for every reading. A dedicated web site, designed by Dr. Gibson, also allows students access to further research and exploration into their own interests. The cases -- linked directly to the readings -- are deliberately short and provocative, challenging students to take and defend their own ethical analysis.
