Business Students Focus on Ethics Summary

Business Students Focus on Ethics by Wojciech W. Gasparski

The study of business ethics seeks to understand business institutions, practices and activities in light of normative behavior. The ethical concern is for the rightness or wrongness of human action. Business Students Focus on Ethics brings together essays written by twenty-five MA and MBA students from seven countries in Europe, North and South America, and the Pacific Rim. Collectively, they give us an applied business ethics framework, one with international dimensions.Business Students Focus on Ethics achieves a number of objectives: it recognizes ethics as legitimate content in graduate level studies in business world wide; seriously examines specific ethical concerns by young managers; and reflects on these concerns from across cultural and geographic borders. It also demonstrates the quality of their analysis and recommendations.The essays in this volume are arranged into four interrelated groups. The first group, Praxiological and Ethical Framework, examines issues of human action from both the theory of human action (i.e., praxiological) and ethical dimensions. The section group of essays, Social Issues-Compensation and Labor, discuss applications of praxiological and ethical principles in relation to the ethical responsibilities of business. The third group discusses Ethical Issues in Health Care from three different cultural perspectives. The fourth group is a series of Corporate Case Studies. This volume may be seen as a companion to Volume 5 of the Praxiology series, Human Action in Business and will be of interest to business people, economists, policy makers, social scientists and students of philosophy and ethics.
