Synopsis

A specialist in performance measurement, Andersen is a research director at SINTEF Industrial Management, one of Europe's largest independent research organizations. His text is designed to translate philosophical debate and esoteric definitions of corporate responsibility into an operational manifestation which can be readily applied to organizations. His proposed business ethics framework is divided along the dimensions of strategic vs. operational issues, internal vs. external focus, and remedial vs. philanthropic intentions. After describing the framework and its implementation, the text covers each of its eight dimensions in greater detail. For university students, scholars, researchers, and business leaders.
