Business ethics

Summary: In this collection of essays, current issues in business ethics are explored and discussed by leading authorities in the field. The first part analyses the deeper questions that underlie business activities, arguing that when sustainability is accepted as the legitimate objective of business, stakeholder issues are more easily resolved. This means that the neglected question of ownership must be addressed. The second part focuses on power and dependancy issues between individuals and businesses, asking such questions as should businesses support their employees as an alternative to family and church. In the final part the impact of most recent trends in business is discussed: the activities of multinational companies, the changing gender balance, privatisation and the loss of power of trade unions.
