The fifth edition continues the features students and instructors embraced in the first, second, third, and fourth editions, including both short and long eases, discussion questions, hypothetical situations, and up-to-the-moment current, ongoing, and real ethical dilemmas. Some of the longstanding favorites are back by popular demand-such as the Nestle infant formula experience with its longstanding lessons in doing the right thing.
The fifth edition still continues the classic readings in business ethics that provide insight into the importance of ethics in business and how to resolve ethical dilemmas. The readings remain integrated throughout the book to provide substantive thoughts on the particular areas coverd in each section. The organizational structure and indoxes, modified from the fourth edition, make material easy to locate. A case can be located using the table of contents, the topical index, or the product index, which lists both products and companies by name. An index for business disciplines groups the cases by accunting management, and the other disciplines in colleges of business.
