"The Ethical Challenge" spricht erstmals das gegenwärtige Dilemma der Unternehmenswelt offen an, nämlich die mangelnde Unterstützung der Öffentlichkeit.

Der Band präsentiert Gedanken und Probleme von Top-Führungskräften sowie Erkenntnisse von Spitzenakademikern, die die neue Grundlage bilden für eine ethische Unternehmensführung.

Der Leser lernt von diesen Führungskräften, wie ethische Grundlagen entwickelt werden, wie diese in Geschäftsentscheidungen integriert werden, und wie man diese schließlich umsetzt.

Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele wird anschaulich gezeigt, wie der Leser seine eigenen ethischen Herausforderungen durchdenken kann.

Mit Beiträgen von so bedeutenden Persönlichkeiten wie Jeffrey Immelt, CEO von General Electric, James Baker, ehemaliger US-Aussenminister, C.K. Prahalad, Bob Quinn und den Herausgebern dieses Bandes.
