Overview

How should business deal with society's increasing demands for ethical and social responsibility? Is it sufficient for managers simply to observe the requirements of the law? In plain language this book considers these and other ethical questions of direct relevance to business in the 100os. It discusses the nature of ethics, ethical reasoning, the use of stakeholder analysis, and other central concepts used in business ethics. Using mainly, but not exclusively, Australian cases and specific examples, the book covers issues such as fairness in business dealings, advertising etchis, discrimination, whistleblowing, the problem of 'dirty hands', codes of ethics, and the environment. It argues that the business profession like the midical, legal, engineering and other professions needs to set codes of practice and ethical standards in principle and for the benefit of the public, as well as its own commercial interest.
