The Routledge Companion to Business Ethics, 1st Edition, is a reference work that provides an overview of commercial and corporate ethics. Reflecting five decades of academic scholarship, the volume surveys key theoretical foundations alongside practical challenges across commercial life.
The volume features eight thematic units that address moral philosophy, economic institutions, and responsibilities within the firm. Chapters examine foundational concepts, corporate governance, and the causes of the 2008 financial crisis.
Drawing on an international group of contributors across law, economics, history, public policy, and philosophy, the reference supports library collections in business, management, and applied ethics.
