- Explores how ethical theory informs business policy and practice.
- Presents unresolved contemporary case studies for consideration, inviting readers to participate in the decision-making and offer their own recommendations.
- The latest in the This is Philosophy series, This is Business Ethics features supplemental online resources for instructors and students at  https://www.wiley.com/enus/thisisphilosophy/thisisbusinessethicsanintroduction
