Business Ethics in Action Managing Human Excellence

This textbook is the ideal companion for undergraduate, postgraduate and MBA students of business ethics worldwide. Placing individual human action at the heart of ethical business, Domenec Mele''s person-centred approach builds upon theory dating back to Ancient Greece, and the notion that every human action has an effect on both the enactor, and the enactee. Arguing that businesses and corporations are simply the sum of their people, Mele expertly makes the case that a successful business is an ethical business. The book also explores a range of internationally-recognised scandals including Volkswagen''s corrupted diesel emission test results and the Rana Plaza disaster. Covering an abundance of contemporary ethical concerns from employee IT surveillance to the morality of capitalism, this is a vital resource for students looking to excel in their studies and make a genuine impact on the business world.
