Too Tired? Too Anxious? Need More Time? We’ve got your back.
Textbook
Weiss, J. W. (2022). Business ethics: A stakeholder and issues management approach (7th ed.). San Francisco, CA: Berrett-Koehler.
Chapter 2 engages you in a discussion of ethics at personal, professional, organizational, and international levels. The foundations of ethical principles are presented in context with contemporary ethical decision-making approaches. Individual styles of moral decision making are also discussed. Although the approach here is a micro-level one, these principles can be used to examine and explain corporate strategies and actions as well.
