CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN BUSINESS ETHICS, 6E introduces readers to business ethics by focusing on the influence of market mechanisms and social values on workplace norms. And because business is increasingly a global enterprise, this edition emphasizes the role of ethics both at home and abroad.

Hosmer's fourth edition of The Ethics of Management provides business students (future managers) with a very specific analytical process for understanding and resolving moral problems in management. A manager needs insight and understanding in a global economy to convince everyone involved, given his or her varied religious, cultural, economic and social backgrounds, to accept a proposed moral solution. Acceptance of managerial moral solutions, over time, brings trust, commitment and effort, and those three, also over time, are essential for organizational success.

A worktbook of cases, exercises and thought-provoking vignettes designed for courses in business ethics, business and society and secondary business policy. Describes work situations in which students will likely encounter moral problems and dilemmas. The cases and questions for response force them to face their own concrete ethical position. Each chapter is an independent unit focusing on three types of role relationships: the roles of subordinate, peer and superior, the roles of the consumer, supplier competitor and owner, and the roles (...) of individual, citizen and activists. Text and cases highlight the conflicting values and unique issues of each role relationship. (shrink)
