Reviews

'In an age of corporate scandals, tax evasion schemes and high-profile climate-change denial, Rendtorff reminds us that business activity is morally, politically and constitutionally justified if and only if it is socially responsible and globally conducive to the good life.' - Prof. Giorgio Baruchello, University of Akureyri 'Jacob Dahl proves that business ethics is not a standalone discipline and those who naturally practice cosmopolitan corporate integrity can readily produce win-win situations for all involved. Society needs this fascinating and insightful read to become a text book in every business school and a desk book for every executive.' - Julian Clarke, European Business Ethics Network Ireland
