 Business
enterprises looking for guidance on how to operate in
accordance with modern standards of corporate accountability
and ethics need look no further than this comprehensive
guide to business ethics.
Designed
as a training tool for enterprises operating in countries
that have just recently transitioned to a market economy,
Business Ethics will also be useful to decision-makers
in any organization that is seeking to design and implement
a business ethics program that conforms to global standards.
The
10 chapters of Business Ethics are organized
into five sections that answer the questions:
-
What is a responsible business enterprise?
- What
constitutes a business ethics program?
- How
is a business ethics program structured?
- How
is a business ethics program put into practice?
- How
can responsible business conduct be achieved?
Numerous
practical examples drawn from successful European and
American companies are located throughout the text.
Worksheets and checklists in each chapter provide guided
exercises for students, ensuring that the book is equally
appropriate as part of a training program or for self-study.
Fully
indexed, Business Ethics also contains an extensive
bibliography, a glossary that explains the basic terminology
of business ethics, and—in its nine appendices—numerous
examples of business ethics policies adopted by various
countries and organizations.
According
to Peter Eigen, chairman of Transparency International,
Business Ethics "is an excellent, comprehensive,
and easy-to-use manual on business ethics. Business
people, governments, and civil society organizations
ready to fight corruption will welcome this practical
guide."
