Description

This text offers a method for untangling the ethical dilemmas that arise through business transactions, regardless of culture or context. It also demonstrates how empirical descriptions and normative evaluations of business policies must cooperate to inform sound business decisions. Examples are used to support the author's points, featuring companies such as AT&T, Levi-Strauss and Royal Dutch/Shell.
