Business Ethics: Decision-Making for Personal Integrity & Social Responsibility

Co-authored with J. DesJardins, 2nd edition forthcoming 2010

"Business Ethics" prepares the student to apply an ethical decision-making model, not only in the ethics course where the text might be discussed, but throughout her or his business discipline. The decision-making model introduced teaches students ethical skills, vocabulary and tools to apply in everyday business decisions and throughout their business courses.  The authors speak in a sophisticated yet accessible manner while teaching the fundamentals of business ethics.  The authors’ goal is to engage the student by focusing on cases and business scenarios that students already find interesting.  Students are then asked to look at those same familiar issues from an ethical perspective.

The Global Corporation: Sustainable, Effective and Ethical Practices, A Case Book

Co-authored with P. Werhane, forthcoming 2009

Over the past several years, a great deal of media attention and popular literature has detailed corporate misdeeds, and much of the reporting is accurate.  In the meantime, there are hundreds of companies striving to do the right thing and succeeding. These companies are the backbone of our economy and of global economic growth; but this good behavior and its contributions to our economy are only found on the back pages of journals and seldom reported in books or on the Internet.  While we do not advocate ignoring the scandals that have shaken our confidence in free enterprise, it is equally important to consider positive models for commerce, models that have generated value both domestically and on a global scale.  We are then able to extract frameworks for corporate moral decision-making that can be emulated by other companies who are just starting up, emerging, or revamping their ethics focus in light of a scandal.  This text is comprised of a series of case studies focusing on specific instances of these effective corporate practices.
