Business ethics : decision making for personal integrity and social responsibility

---

We began writing the first edition of this textbook in 2006, soon after a wave of major corporate scandals had shaken the financial world. Headlines made the com¬panies involved in these ethical scandals household names: Enron, WorldCom, Tyco, Adelphia, HealthSouth, Global Crossing, Arthur Andersen, ImClone, KPMG, J.P. Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Salomon Smith Barney, and even the New York Stock Exchange itself. At the time, we suggested that, in light of such significant cases of financial fraud, mismanagement, criminality and deceit, the relevance of business ethics could no longer be questioned.

Sadly, though we are now several editions into the publication, these very same issues are as much alive today as they were a decade ago—and decades prior to our original publication. While our second edition was preceded by the financial meltdown in 2008-2009 and the problems faced by such companies as AIG, Countrywide, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Bear Steams, and of the financier Bernard Madoff, this current edition continues to witness financial and ethical malfeasance of historic proportions and the inability of market mecha¬nisms, internal governance structures, or government regulation to prevent it.

As we reflect upon the ethical corruption and financial failures of the past decade, the importance of ethics is all too apparent. The questions today are less about whether ethics should be a part of business strategy and, by necessity, the business school curriculum, than about which values and principles should guide business decisions and how ethics should be integrated within business and business education.

This textbook provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the ethi¬cal issues arising in business. Students who are unfamiliar with ethics will find that they are as unprepared for careers in business as students who are unfamiliar with accounting and finance. It is fair to say that students will not be fully prepared, even within traditional disciplines such as accounting, finance, human resource management, marketing, and management, unless they are sufficiently knowledge¬able about the ethical issues that arise specifically within and across those fields.

While other solid introductory textbooks are available, several significant fea¬tures make this book distinctive. We emphasize a decision-making approach to ethics, and we provide strong pedagogical support for both teachers and students throughout the entire book. In addition, we bring both of these strengths to the students through a pragmatic discussion of issues with which they are already often familiar, thus approaching them through subjects that have already gener¬ated their interest.
