Download or read book Ethics and Business written by Paul C. Godfrey and published by Wiley Global Education. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics & Business: An Integrated Approach for Business and Personal Success gives students the practical knowledge and skills to identify ethical dilemmas, understand ethical behavior in themselves and others, and advocate for ethical behavior within their organization. The course focuses on three ethical questions: the individual, the organization, and the societal perspective. These questions and views explore different areas of business ethics, such as the use and abuse of power, challenges to honesty and integrity, and participation in ethical interventions such as reporting, repair, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Most business ethics courses are based on a single point of view. Depending on the viewpoint, this might be based on philosophical theory, organizational behavior, or a legal and regulatory compliance approach. As an author team, we combine and integrate these points of view into a unified whole by incorporating unique content, original videos, and adaptable case studies to assist students in making ethical decisions in their professional and personal lives.

Download or read book Business Ethics Faith That Works 2nd Edition written by Larry Ruddell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Ethics--Faith That Works, 2nd Edition shows how faith forms the foundation for the theory and practice of business ethics and how ethical leadership results in long-term success in business. It challenges readers to understand their own beliefs and actively base the ethics they practice in business on those beliefs for building an ethical culture that can lead to a sustainable competitive advantage. The book begins by covering business ethics basics, highlighting how ethics are good for business. Ruddell then analyses the Scriptural teaching about business ethics as a model for how faith can (and indeed must) integrate with business ethics and then contrasts with other, secular, views of business ethics. He continues by reviewing steps for solving ethical problems in business and how to set up and carry out an effective ethics program inside the business and how companies can extend those ethics to those around them through effective social outreach programs, and to the environment by being good stewards of our resources.
Download or read book The Road to Character written by David Brooks and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • David Brooks challenges us to rebalance the scales between the focus on external success—“résumé virtues”—and our core principles. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST With the wisdom, humor, curiosity, and sharp insights that have brought millions of readers to his New York Times column and his previous bestsellers, David Brooks has consistently illuminated our daily lives in surprising and original ways. In The Social Animal, he explored the neuroscience of human connection and how we can flourish together. Now, in The Road to Character, he focuses on the deeper values that should inform our lives. Looking to some of the world’s greatest thinkers and inspiring leaders, Brooks explores how, through internal struggle and a sense of their own limitations, they have built a strong inner character. Labor activist Frances Perkins understood the need to suppress parts of herself so that she could be an instrument in a larger cause. Dwight Eisenhower organized his life not around impulsive self-expression but considered self-restraint. Dorothy Day, a devout Catholic convert and champion of the poor, learned as a young woman the vocabulary of simplicity and surrender. Civil rights pioneers A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin learned reticence and the logic of self-discipline, the need to distrust oneself even while waging a noble crusade. Blending psychology, politics, spirituality, and confessional, The Road to Character provides an opportunity for us to rethink our priorities, and strive to build rich inner lives marked by humility and moral depth. “Joy,” David Brooks writes, “is a byproduct experienced by people who are aiming for something else. But it comes.” Praise for The Road to Character “A hyper-readable, lucid, often richly detailed human story.”—The New York Times Book Review “This profound and eloquent book is written with moral urgency and philosophical elegance.”—Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree and The Noonday Demon “A powerful, haunting book that works its way beneath your skin.”—The Guardian “Original and eye-opening . . . Brooks is a normative version of Malcolm Gladwell, culling from a wide array of scientists and thinkers to weave an idea bigger than the sum of its parts.”—USA Today

Download or read book A Business Tale written by Marianne Jennings and published by Amacom Books. This book was released on 2003 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Edgar P. Benchley. Charitable people tend to call him a nerd. Others use less subtle descriptions. If you hear Edgar chatting to himself, don't be alarmed. He has an invisible friend who's kind of a cousin to Harvey from that old movie of the same name with Jimmy Stewart. Edgar's rabbit, Ari, possesses many charms. Ari adores Aristotle and Peter Drucker, detests ambulance-chasing lawyers, is well versed in theories of moral development, and can't resist Godiva ice cream. (Hey, even consciences have their weakness.) In high school, Edgar would study for tests all weekend instead of writing the answers on his hands as his friends did. In college, he would write for three days straight rather than buy term papers from We Cheat, Inc. Chalk it up to Ari's influence. With ethics as impeccable as Edgar's, it's no wonder he begins his career as a toll collector. Edgar does have friends, though, who come through and land him some plum jobs. Edgar becomes bookkeeper at Zenon, Inc., which sells million-dollar parts for $11 million. Then he's responsible for compliance at WCAE, a hotbed of insider trading. In his best-paid gig, Edgar samples executive life at a high-flying, IPO-poised start-up that just happens to sell items with a teeny little carcinogenic leak. Somehow - surprise! - Edgar always ends up getting canned. Maybe it has to do with Ari's tireless nudging of Edgar to speak out against the wrongdoings he sees. "If we played by your rules, this country would look like Uzbekistan," one boss angrily tells Edgar. But what Edgar's boss doesn't realize is that taking the ethical route can lead to opportunity knocking. While Edgar's so-called friends eventually get their just deserts, our hero ends up cashing in while keeping his conscience clear. He even gets the girl. Anyone who has ever been challenged by questions of ethics will relish this lively work of fiction and the thought-provoking discussion material that accompanies it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best-performing companies have leaders who actively apply moral values to achieve enduring personal and organizational success. Lennick and Kiel extensively identify the moral components at the heart of the recent financial crisis, and illuminate the monetary and human costs of failed moral leadership in global finance, business and government. The authors begin by systematically defining the principles of moral intelligence and the behavioral competencies associated with them. Next, they demonstrate why sustainable optimal performance–on both an individual and organizational level–requires the development and application of superior moral and emotional competencies. Using many new examples and real case studies and new interviews with key business leaders, they identify connections between moral intelligence and higher levels of trust, engagement, retention, and innovation. Readers will find specific guidance on moral leadership in both large organizations and entrepreneurial ventures, as well as a new, practical, step-by-step plan for measuring and strengthening every component of moral intelligence–from integrity and responsibility to compassion and forgiveness. The authors also provide practical ways for readers to develop their own moral and emotional competencies.
