Tackling the most pressing challenges the global world of business will provide in the next millennium, internationally recognized philosopher Robert C. Solomon takes a hard look at the responsibilities and concerns of corporations, employees, and consumers. Solomon considers the demands of balancing profit making with social responsibility, the pressures of addressing sexual harassment and affirmative action in the workplace, and strategies for working within and creating a variety of corporate cultures. Solomon persuasively argues that success does not have to come at the price of integrity. "Good ethics," he concludes, "is good business." Extensive case studies, questionnaires, and problem-solving exercises make this an essential guide for navigating the sometimes treacherous terrain of ethical decision-making in a highly competitive environment.

"Solomon takes an often addressed topic and presents it in a clear and readable manner. . . .The wide range of issues and case studies covered, coupled with clarity and creativity of presentation, makes this book especially valuable to readers seeking an introduction to business ethics....This will be a welcome addition to both academic and professional libraries. Upper-division undergraduates and above." - CHOICE
