Combining business realism with analytical rigor, \u003cem\u003eJust Business\u003c\/em\u003e offers an Ethical Decision Model that is globally applicable, and can be used to manage businesses' ethical problems in all their real-life complexity and variety.

Nor is it a collection of anecdotal examples or a set of ad hoc responses to isolated questions. Rather, \u003cem\u003eJust Business\u003c\/em\u003e offers a systematic, reasoned argument grounded in Aristotelian realism about what constitutes ethical conduct for business. \u003cem\u003eJust Business\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that when properly understood, business ethics is not an extraneous anti-business option: it is a rigorous, analytical business tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJust Business\u003c\/em\u003e's understanding of business derives from direct, practical experience of doing business in the 'real world'. It is intended for, and should be easily accessible to, active business stakeholders and formulators of public policy as well as academic philosophers. Now in its fourth edition, \u003cem\u003eJust Business\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading for students of business, ethics, law, economics, and public policy, and can benefit everyone who has dealings with business, whether as employees or customers, lenders or investors, regulators or free-marketeers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"...a new book on business ethics that has something valuable to say is ... a rare event ... worth celebrating.... companies would be more profitable, the gross national product higher, and standards of behaviour better in a country where every manager read Just Business and took it to heart.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhilosophical Quarterly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"Just Business is clear, readable and witty... it may become a standard text before long... deserves to be read by everyone with an interest in business ethics, whether teacher, student or business professional.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Independent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"Just Business is closely argued, logical and well written.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBusiness Ethics: A European Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \"Much is gained by the book's carefully reasoned, clear approach to ethical issues.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSouth China Morning Post\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: \" ...very important... clear... logical... cogent... a first-class work. ...this book should be read by the officers, managers and owners of every major corporation...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 326\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52242152587538,"sku":"9780999266113","price":59.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/2211\/5346\/files\/K2NoVkpZMXBEeHZQT3F4RnlFR1VuQT09.webp?v=1777912267","url":"https:\/\/ckbookstore.net\/products\/just-business-business-ethics-in-action-hardcover","provider":"CK BOOKSTORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
