Honest Work: A Business Ethics Reader, now includes 103 readings and 80 cases on such classic topics as honesty and trust in the workplace, whistleblowing, product liability, finance ethics, and conflicts of interest, along with more cutting edge subjects including environmental ethics and ethics and technology. The text was revised in the midst of the worst global financial crisis since the Great Depression, which reaffirms the convictions that led the authors to develop this text: first, that business ethics is primarily about the ethics of individuals; second, that business itself is a morally sensitive endeavor as it directly or indirectly harms or benefits other people. Honest Work assumes that the goal of a business ethics course is to help students become successful as human beings so that they can go on to invent, run, and rebuild sustainable businesses. Unlike most texts, it brings ethical questions back to the reader, and challenges students to think about the relationship between the way they do business and the kind of life they want to live.questions, and suggested readings and web links. An Instructor's Manual with Test Bank is available to adopters.
