Description
This new first edition introduces business students, scholars, and practitioners to moral reasoning as it applies naturally in business. It "works through" rather than simply "presents" the moral philosophy's relevance to business, thus teaching students how to do moral reasoning as opposed to just learning about moral reasoning.
By choosing examples and questions that show students how one cannot make informed business decisions if you cannot think philosophically; the author identifies, develops, and critically appraises the main approaches in contemporary moral philosophy as they apply to the specific problems that business people confront.
