Williams, Chair and Associate Professor of Philosophy, Wofford College Ethical Challenges to Business as Usual covers classical issues as well as current developments and alternative solutions. Capitalism and socialism are discussed, and the question of universal human rights is addressed. Importantly, environmental issues are shown to be at the forefront of any business ethics discussion. The selected readings include prominent figures in the field as well as new voices. The broad scope of this text and the readable quality of its chapters make it ideal for the college classroom. -- Robert Elliott Allinson, Professor of Philosophy, Soka University of America, author of Saving Human Lives: Lessons in Management Ethics Praise for the first edition: This book is much more multicultural in its approach to the topics than most business ethics texts, so even when the book deals with traditional topics, it does so in a refreshing manner. Also, the topics of poverty in relation to corporate culture... and corporate agriculture are important inclusions of topics usually neglected. -- Richard Kyte, Viterbo University This book is written in a conversational tone, inviting to the reader....I do think the approach of questioning the assumptions within ethical philosophy to be both innovative and sound. I think the material is likely to be well-received, since few other books do this. -- Michelle LeBaron, George Mason University Author InformationShari Collins is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Arizona State University, and has co-edited several popular anthologies including Being Ethical: Classic and New Voices on Contemporary Issues, and Applied Ethics: A Multicultural Approach.
