Business Ethics: A Practical Approach offers students a comprehensive guide for ethical decision-making in business. It introduces foundational concepts in business ethics and applies them through a series of case studies that reflect real-world challenges. The text is structured around a practical methodology that emphasizes reasoning and applying ethical principles to complex scenarios, such as corporate responsibility, employee relations, marketing ethics, and environmental issues. With a blend of theoretical perspectives and practical guidance, this resource prepares students to recognize and address ethical dilemmas in their future careers.

Key topics include ethical theories, corporate responsibility, relations between employers and employees, sustainability, and the ethical considerations at play in different areas of business, all framed within an accessible, case-study-driven approach.
