Psychology Press, 2005 - 269 pagini
This innovative textbook provides an accessible analysis of the ethical dimensions of conducting business in a global political economy. From a starting point of applied ethics, John M. Kline introduces a common set of normative terms and analytical tools for examining and discussing real case scenarios. Extensive real-world examples cover issues including: - foreign production, including sweatshops - export of hazardous products - testing and pricing of HIV-AIDS drugs - advertising tobacco, alcoholic beverages and infant formula - deceptive marketing techniques and bribery - religious and social discrimination - cultural impacts from 'music, movies and malls' - environmental issues, including oil spills, rain forest preservation, global warming and genetically modified foods. Anyone with an interest in the ethical implications of international business, or the business implications of corporate responsibility in the global market, will find this book a thought-provoking yet balanced analysis. Clearly and accessibly written, this is the textbook of choice in this increasingly important field.
