Business Ethics fifth edition is suitable for BCom students following courses in ethics, and can also be used for graduate or postgraduate modules in business management and human resource management.

Given the growing emphasis on corporate governance, the book is also of relevance to business ethics practitioners as it addresses key ethical issues affecting corporations in the twenty-first century.

Business Ethics tracks global developments in areas such as corporate ethical culture and highlights the relevance thereof within the southern African context.
