BUSINESS ETHICS:
TEXT AND WORKBOOK
by
Donna J. Wood, Ph.D. |
Finally - a business ethics text written for business students!
- Easy to read
- Understandable
- Affordable
- Completely relevant to business studies and practice
Each chapter is an appealing blend of management thinking, social science research, philosophical concepts, and real-world applications. Because students learn best by doing, each chapter contains assignments and "test yourself" questions. Additional learning aids include concept definitions, "Find Out More" boxes, complete referencing, cases, and examples.
This low-cost textbook is available in three formats: (1) print copies sold through college bookstores, or (2) course-packs sold through college copy centers, or (3) you can order one or more chapters to use in your own course-pack. The printed book is hard-spiral bound with fully laminated covers and heavy paper, for durability and ease of use.
This text is a synthesis of current and historical knowledge drawn from philosophy, social sciences, management studies, business law, classic cases, history, and current events. It reflects the author's 28 years of experience in teaching business ethics/business & society to business students at every level. And it reflects her approach to business ethics – management-oriented, organizationally-focused, straightforward and accessible, and ranging across levels of analysis from the individual to the global.
