Ethics of International Business offers three concepts for interpreting international business ethics: a social contract between productive organizations and society; the notion of a fundamental international right promulgated by ten specific international rights; and a moral "algorithm" to help multinational managers find compromises between conflicting norms in home and host countries. This is the first book to systematically evaluate global business from a moral perspective.--[book jacket].

There is an epidemic of unhappiness in the American workplace. A full 70 percent of workers in the United States report that they are disengaged from their jobs. When asked, "Do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?" only 20 percent of nearly 2 million employees said yes. It is no wonder that 56 percent of all Americans dream of starting their own business. So why don't they do so? Because starting one's own business is seen as difficult, expensive, and risky.In this extraordinary book, successful Go It Alone! entrepreneur Bruce Judson explains that the conventional wisdom about starting your own business is stunningly wrong. Using the leverage of technology -- e-mail, the World Wide Web, and the remarkable array of off-the-shelf business services now available -- it is dramatically easier to start your own business. Magnified by these new services, it is also possible to create, for the first time, a highly focused business.Bruce Judson shows you the practical steps that will allow nearly any individual to create a business, often using job skills that seem to require an entire corporation for support. It is no longer necessary to spend time on the tasks that don't add value. It is now possible to stay small but reap big profits. Go-it-alone businesses allow the individual the freedom to concentrate on their greatest skills. After reading this book, your motto will be "Do What You Do Best, Let Others Do the Rest."

"The role and economic power of corporations that dominate the world economy has generated considerable controversy. The most heated debate and the most critical questions, surrounding the role of multinational corporations has to do with foreign direct investment (FDI)." "This book takes an entirely different view of the role of multinationals and the development impact of FDI to the prevailing and dominant view. It argues that imperialism is a much more useful concept for describing and explaining the dynamics of world development than globalization. FDI is a mechanism for empire-centred capital accumulation, a powerful lever for political control and for reordering the world economy."--Jacket.
