About this title

Synopsis

Reorganizing parts of the text from the 1997 edition, Boatright (Loyala U., Chicago) uses ethical theory as a foundation for business ethics, then examines such issues that arise as intelligence gathering on competitors, family and work life, wrongful termination, whistle- blowing, and occupational health and safety. He also considers the legal background and discusses the links between business ethics and business law. New topics include consumer privacy, corporate ethics programs, and shareholder control.
