Synopsis

Business and Society: Ethics and Stakeholder Management, 5th edition employs a stakeholder management framework, emphasizing business' social and ethical responsibilities to both external and internal stakeholder groups. A twin theme of business ethics illustrates how ethical or moral considerations are included the public issues facing organizations and the decision making process of managers. The text is written from a managerial perspective that along with the two themes shows how to identify stakeholders, incorporate their concerns into the organization's strategy and operations, and also integrate ethical wisdom into their decision making process. In addition, 35 case histories are included to help connect theory and practice through timely and interesting examples.

Review:

In the pabulum called Business & Society textbooks, this one rises to the top. If your competitors have a better textbook, they've yet to send it to me.

The text has been my choice sine the 1st edition and I plan to continue using it as long as I teach this course given the excellent content, depth, and breadth of the material which I can adapt.

The text is the best in the field. The environment section is very strong. Well done, overall. Great text.
