<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With a unique, highly practical approach to teaching business ethics, this text focuses on the relationships among various stakeholders, including individuals, groups, corporations, and governments. The book includes an easy, step-by-step guide to implementing stakeholder analysis, tips to help students apply ethical principles in their personal and professional lives, and comprehensive coverage of employee workplace issues. It addresses highly relevant topics such as risk management, preferential hiring, corporate legitimacy, and moral accountability. The text also explores today's increasingly interconnected global business environment with coverage of multinational corporations and important issues such as the digital divide, bribery, corruption, human rights, and the environment. The new sixth edition incorporates the latest research, updated cases (such as WikiLeaks), and a full complement of online support for students and instructors, including teaching notes, PowerPoint slides, and sample tests.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>NEW EDITION, REVISED AND UPDATED <br> </b><br> This is a pragmatic, hands-on, up-to-date guide to determining right and wrong in the business world. Joseph Weiss integrates a stakeholder perspective with an issues-oriented approach so students look at how a business's actions affect not just share price and profit but the well-being of employees, customers, suppliers, the local community, the larger society, other nations, and the environment. <p/> Weiss uses a wealth of contemporary examples, including twenty-three customized cases that immerse students directly in recent business ethics dilemmas and ask them to consider how they would resolve them. The recent economic collapse raised ethical issues that have yet to be resolved--there could not be a better time for a fully updated edition of Weiss's classic, accessible blend of theory and practice. <p/> <b>New to the Sixth Edition!<br> </b><br> <b>New Cases!</b> Fourteen of the twenty-three cases in this book are brand new to this edition. They touch on issues such as cyberbullying, fracking, neuromarketing, and for-profit education and involve institutions like Goldman Sachs, Google, Kaiser Permanente, Walmart, Ford, and Facebook. <br> <b><br> Updated Throughout</b>! The text has been updated with the latest research, including new national ethics survey data, perspectives on generational differences, and global and international issues. Each chapter includes recent business press stories touching on ethical issues. <p/> <b>New Feature!</b> Several chapters now feature a unique Point/Counterpoint exercise that challenges students to argue both sides of a contemporary issue, such as too-big-to-fail institutions, the Boston bomber <i>Rolling Stone</i> cover, student loan debt, online file sharing, and questions raised by social media.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Joseph W.
