Product Description
The subject of business ethics addresses what can be considered morally right and wrong in the way businesses make decisions and conduct their activities. Business Ethics is a lively and engaging textbook covering the foundations of business ethics and applying these theories, concepts and tools to each of the corporation's major stakeholders. Written from a European perspective, the text considers the implications of three major challenges facing the corporation: corporate citizenship, globalization and sustainability. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes new content on personal values and Asian perspectives. It features lots of new cases and vignettes as well as updates of favourites from the first edition. The high level of pedagogical features has been extended for the new edition, with new features including 'Ethics on Screen' and 'Key Readings'. The online resource centre has been developed further with new features including more teaching notes, incorporating review and discussion questions for lecturers, and additional weblinks for students.

A great book for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Business Ethics and CSR
30 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
The third edition (2010) of Business Ethics by Crane and Matten is a must have book, even for those who have the first and second editions. Many sections of the book have been re-written making the ethical theory sections and ethical issues clearer by explaining in small steps what and why is important and for whom. The new figures, ethical dilemmas of recent cases within a truly international context make the book the best Business Ethics text book you can use for your international students.
An excellent resource is also available from the Oxford University Press book companion with power point slides and other material for the instructors.

Horrible text book
5 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
If you are required to buy this text book for a class I feel sorry for you. I had to buy it for a stakeholder course and my initial reaction to the book was good. The first few chapters are a great introduction to general ethical and stakeholder theory. However, after those chapters the authors go on a binge with what can only be classified as overly descriptive accounts on different stakeholder groups. If you have previously had any courses involving stakeholder theory these chapters bring nothing new. This is surprising as the authors have chosen to dedicate 40+ pages per chapter and try to relate to the presumptive student reader by including boxes with descriptions of movies dealing with related topics called 'Ethics on Screen'. Maybe if the movies had been included on a dvd it would have worked, but even if you have seen the respective movies these 'Ethics on Screen' boxes seem out of place.
In case of a book like this one I would like to recommend to just read the conclusions, but these are short considering the lenght of the chapters and equally useless.
If you are required to get this book for a course I strongly recommend that you find a good deal as this is not a book you would want to overspend on.
