Business And Society: Ethics, Sustainability, And Stakeholder Management

E-Book Overview

Readers gain a strong understanding of the importance of business ethics, sustainability, and stakeholder management from a strong managerial perspective with Carroll, Brown and Buchholtz’s BUSINESS AND SOCIETY: ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY, AND STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT, 10E. Readers see, first-hand, how the most successful business decision makers are able to balance and protect the interests of various stakeholders, including investors, employees, consumers, the community, and the environment. They review the importance of business decision making particularly now, as businesses recover from a perilous financial period. Readers are able to examine in detail the social, legal, political, and ethical responsibilities of a business to all external and internal groups that have a stake, or interest, in that business.
