Items related to Ethics in the Fashion Industry: Instructor's Guide
Within a professional setting such as a business or educational institution, people make decisions about what level of attention and care they give to the tasks at hand, what they produce, how they produce it and how they present their work to others. If we never had to deal with people, we would not have any reason to worry about ethics. Ethics in the Fashion Industry studies the relationships between individuals within departments in the textiles, apparel and retailing industries, as well as the decision-making processes and ethical implications of their actions. Paulins and Hillery hope to make students aware of controversial issues within the industry and of potential consequences or benefits of their actions as they work through the decision-making process. Thus creating professionals who make good decisions. Features: -- Draws upon "real word" experience through interviews with industry professionals -- Case studies supplement the content of each chapter -- CD-ROM includes projects that relate to the issues discussed in each chapter -- Instructor's Guide provides suggestions for planning the course and using the text in the classroom

From the Inside Flap:
Knock-off designer handbags, shoplifting, sweatshop labor, minimum wage laws, the debate over "green" design, provocative advertising, even what employees wear to work at textile mills or in high-end boutiques are just a few examples of complex ethical issues in the fashion industry today. Ethics are about making good decisions. And in the fashion industry-where it is essential to be able to work with many different people, from manufacturers to designers to customers-understanding ethics is key to being an honest, informed, and effective employee. Ethics in the Fashion Industry provides readers with the tools they need to develop and practice ethical decision-making skills.
