Book Review: Business Ethics & Other Paradoxes by Jimmy Winfield, George Hull, Greg Fried
Business Ethics & Other Paradoxes
“Business Ethics & Other Paradoxes guides readers through the thicket of ethical issues in modern business. The authors, who jointly have a background in commerce and philosophy, begin with an extensive account of critical thinking, a set of tools useful not only for ethics but for all decision-making. They explain how to argue logically and why the pitfalls of poor reasoning can be so seductive. The book then tackles the relations between businesses and their customers, their employees and society as a whole, covering the most important areas of business ethics in Africa and the world–such as the ethics of economic systems, advertising, product safety and liability, meaningful work, affirmative action, employee rights, whistleblowing, and environmental and global business ethics. It also examines how we make wrong choices, and offers some practical advice for realising a more ethical firm. A final chapter offers a detailed discussion and several case studies about the ethics of accountants in particular.”–Back cover.

Description : In an increasingly globalized world, business ethics continues to gain importance as a field of study. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential concepts of business ethics related to the economy as a whole, as well as more closely understood corporate ethics related to the individual company. In contrast to more casuistic works on the topic, special emphasis is placed on a coherent theoretical foundation that puts economic analysis tools at the centre of the consideration. Both classical and experimental economic approaches and results are called upon. The importance of often-neglected dilemma structures and the resulting implications for an ethics of the modern age are given wide scope, while special attention is also paid to the value of empirical research for business ethics. A substantial portion of the book is devoted to corporate ethics and explores issues that encompass corporate responsibility in the context of compliance, corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, and creating shared value. This is intended to provide students and academics with an aid in the theoretical classification of the variety of concepts that often coexist incoherently in contemporary debate. As the topic has evolved, it has extended far beyond narrow disciplinary boundaries. This book is intended for students in the social sciences, particularly economics, business, and psychology, as well as the computer sciences, engineering, and the natural sciences....
