Gain a solid understanding of the importance of business ethics, sustainability and stakeholder management using a strong managerial perspective within Carroll/Brown's BUSINESS AND SOCIETY: ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY, AND STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT, 11E. You discover, first-hand, how today’s most successful business decision makers both balance and protect the interests of various stakeholders, including investors, employees, consumers, the community, and the environment. You learn how strong business decision making skills are particularly critical as businesses navigate today's issues, such as climate change and a global pandemic. Updated chapter content and 34 timely cases examine the social, legal, political and ethical responsibilities of a business to all external and internal groups that have a stake or interest in that business. Ethics in Practice cases also provide opportunities to apply your skills. An interactive eBook, videos and learning tools are available to strengthen understanding.
