International Business Ethics: Challenges and Approaches, edited by Georges Enderle, is a pioneer in this widely uncharted field of international business ethics. This volume includes the work of 39 contributors, half of them from non-Western countries, first presented at the First World Congress of Business, Economics, and Ethics hosted by Reitaku University and the Institute of Moralogy in Japan. Together, their outstanding articles paint an extraordinarily rich and fascinating multidisciplinary picture of international business ethics as it evolves, and delineate the contours of how international business ethics may develop at the turn of the millennium.
Challenges addressed are: the need for a differentiated economic analysis beyond simple profit maximization; the active participation of the world's religions in coping with global issues; information technology in different cultures; the roles and responsibilities of transnational corporations; the demand for a new generation of business leaders; and the prospect of East Asia as a major economic region that will considerably shape the next century.
International Business Ethics is for scholars of business, economics, political science, ethics, and international studies, as well as for anyone interested in the growing field of international business ethics.
