Denis G. Arnold: Arnold, D: Ethics of Global Business, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

The Ethics of Global Business is a timely and original account of international business ethics, providing business leaders with the conceptual framework and practical guidance needed to create and implement ethical practices and policies. Viewing transnational companies as agents of justice, author Denis G. Arnold presents an alternative, morally legitimate conception of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) that is grounded in Cosmopolitan Human Rights theory.

Throughout the text, the author defines and defends ethical CSR and Base of the Pyramid (BoP) strategies that respect basic human rights across the global supply chain, particularly people living in moderate and extreme poverty (MEP) in developing economies. Chapters address key topics including the role of transnational companies in global justice, the human rights obligations of transnational companies, wage exploitation in developing nations, recent United Nations (UN) initiatives on business and human rights, and approaches for empowering those at the bottom of the global economic pyramid.

Essential reading for all transnational business leaders, The Ethics of Global Business is also a valuable resource for policymakers, scholars, undergraduate and graduate students, and general readers with an interest in business ethics, global justice, human rights, sweatshop ethics, solutions to global poverty, global climate change, and corporate environmental sustainability.
