| Summary |
Not so long ago black humour seemed the only response to business ethics. Today the world is different. Business ethics have been seized upon as a panacea to protect the community from a repeat of the excesses of the 1980's. Business ethics generate real opportunities for the improvement of Australian management and business but there is a danger that the ethical solutions are simplistic and ineffective. This book focuses on two central debates: how to introduce higher ethical standards and how to regulate business activity and prosecute offenders |
