Modern Business Ethics

An exciting new business ethics textbook that looks at the most pressing contemporary issues including data ethics, technology and equality and diversity.

Modern Business Ethics offers a contemporary insight into the most pressing issues facing businesses today. Subjects such as gender wage disparity, "reasonable" working conditions, and environmental business practice are no longer side issues but central concerns of businesses. Companies now want their employees to understand key issues such as data ethics, discrimination, and sexual harassment and know how to navigate them. Through its four-part structure, the book examines moral frameworks, how these can be applied to ethical workplaces, how business intersects with society, politics and the environment, and emerging moral concerns. 

Dedicated chapters examining cutting-edge issues include: 
• Data Ethics
• Equality and Diversity 
• Mental Health at Work 
• Technology in the Workplace 

Featuring mini case studies and end-of-chapter questions, this accessible textbook simplifies complex theories and engages students. It is an essential resource for fostering ethical decision-making and promoting integrity in the business world.

This textbook is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students of business ethics, as well as those studying business and society, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability and responsible management.
