Blackwell Encyclopedia of Management Business Ethics

In the years since the Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Business Ethics, First Edition was published, the business ethics climate had changes dramatically, particularly with revelations of financial impropriety from companies such as Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, and Tyco. Consequently, the second edition of this volume, while maintaining the standard terms and concepts in business ethics, now weaves the lessons learned from these instances of financial malfeasance into many of the entries, and includes many new subjects such as corporate citizenship, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and socially responsible investing. This edition also has entries pertaining to the increasingly sophisticated technology and science of today's world: E-Business, Internet and Business Ethics, nanotechnology, and biodiversity. Many of the entries, particularly those dealing with different countries, have been updated to reflect the current business climate of those countries.Werhane, Patricia H. is the author of 'Blackwell Encyclopedia of Management Business Ethics', published 2006 under ISBN 9781405100137 and ISBN 1405100133.
