BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT, AND SOCIETY - MANAGING COMPETITIVENESS, ETHICS, AND SOCIAL ISSUES

This text integrates historical background that is missing from most texts in the field. Early chapters trace the history of ideas about controlling business to balance economic and ethical performance in a market society; and later chapters relate highlights in the history of regulation and regulatory reform (deregulation) to the chapter topic. This text covers strategic management for competitiveness, within the business-and-society context, ethical decision making, corporate culture, and moral reasoning--and includes two chapters on global competitiveness and multi-national business- government relations and separate chapters on each category of stakeholder.
