Moral Issues in Business 4th Edition by William Shaw/Vincent Barry/Donata Muntean/Theodora Issa/Gerard Ilott/Bevan Catley
Quick Navigation

Overview

Moral Issues in Business examines business ethics in the context of moral and ethical issues encountered by Australian and New Zealand businesses and organisations. This market leading text is the only up-to-date, local resource available in the business ethics market.

The purpose of this text is fourfold: to expose students to the important moral issues that arise in various business contexts; to provide students with an understanding of the moral, social, and economic environments within which those problems occur; to introduce students to the ethical and other concepts that are relevant for resolving those problems; and to assist students in developing the necessary reasoning and analytical skills for doing so. Although the resource's primary emphasis is on business, its scope extends to related moral issues in other organisational and professional contexts.
