'Dominic Mel�'s textbook is an essential reference point for any undergraduate student in business and management who has an interest in business ethics.

It will certainly help readers approach the subject in a holistic way.' - Jas Ahmed, Director of Advanced Management Programmes, Middlesex University Business School, UK

'Business Ethics in Action's human-centred approach is a breath of fresh air. The author is able to combine traditional wisdom based on a coherent view of human nature with the practical realities of contemporary ethical issues in business. In taking a practically-oriented approach, the author provides a comprehensive, reasoned framework which integrates principles, virtues and values in dealing with the variety and complexity of ethical issues in the workplace. This long awaited text will be of immense benefit to anyone who is interested in business and professional ethics.' - Surendra Arjoon, Senior Lecturer in Ethics and Decision Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences, The University of the West Indies, Trinidad and Tobago

'This is a thorough and comprehensive look at the subject of business ethics, which not only deals with the basic theories in an understandable way, but illustrates them with a wide selection of case studies, to make the theories relevant for today's students.' - Nick Phillips, School of Business and Enterprise, University of Cumbria, UK

Rese�a del editor:

It is argued that, without neglecting efficiency or profits, human well-being should be the first priority of every business. Business Ethics in Action defends the need to orient business to people.

Drawing on the author's extensive experience in teaching business ethics at one of Europe's leading business schools, this textbook overcomes common approaches in which business ethics is presented exclusively as a tool for solving ethical dilemmas by applying principled theories. Business Ethics focuses on both principles and virtues, although emphasizing virtues as the key for human flourishing.

Through illustrative case studies and interesting pedagogy, this book will be accessible and practical, aiding students in applying the foundations and principles of business ethics to real world situations.
