A collection of 35 original and reprinted contemporary cases that focus on ethical and social issues surrounding business. Students will be made aware of situations that require moral reflection, judgment, and decision-making, thus revealing the complexities that surround moral choices and the formation of public policy.

Explores the processes and problems of moral decision-making in professional situations under complex circumstances of controversy, uncertainty, disagreement, and incomplete information.
Some cases take an outside look at corporate activities, some take an inside view of a corporation or institution, and some use a mixture of perspectives.
Cases are based on actual situations and reflect an authentic sequence of events that occurred in a business or public-policy circumstance.
Cases contain sufficient detail to approximate complexity, without clouding moral issues or bogging down in detail.
Contains six new cases on topics in: advertising, marketing, conflict of interest, social responsibility of business, employee rights, and the impact of public policy on business.
Over 90% of the cases have undergone revisions ranging from minor updates to complete rewritings.
