Business ethics and values
Colin Fisher and Alan Lovell
"Offering a successful blend of academic theory and concrete issues, Business Ethics and Values is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students with or without practical experience in the business world." "With chapters reflecting a series of lectures, the book serves as a self-contained course in business ethics, assuming little prior knowledge of business ethics on the part of the student. Crucial to this new book is the way it introduces the student to the complexities and principles of ethical issues through the medium of real-world case examples and simulations. These features aim to stimulate debate and enable the reader to appreciate and understand the relevance and many-sidedness of ethical arguments."--BOOK JACKET.
