Business Ethics: Case Studies and Selected Readings FROM THE PUBLISHER
Business Ethics: Case Studies and Selected Readings by Marianne Jennings provides real-life examples of ethical dilemmas, poor ethical choices, and wise ethical decisions from newspapers, business journals and the author's experiences as a consultant and board member. This text not only assists in fulfilling the AACSB's curriculum requirement but also exposes the reader to a critical issue - the strong sense of values that is essential to principled and successful leadership in the business world. The cases apply theory to reality in order to nurture or reinforce a needed sense of values in future business leaders.
