Ethics in business is a longstanding and highly debated topic, dating back to the emergence of limited companies. However, recent developments such as privatization, technological advancements, digital innovation, shifts in moral perceptions, economic and financial crises, and globalization have sparked a renewed debate on how businesses should conduct themselves in our societies.

This book takes a unique approach by advocating for an open and robust debate on ethical norms and values. It employs a rigorous methodology to explore these issues, transcending national borders and challenging the boundaries of one's moral imagination. Ethics goes beyond mere harmony and encompasses the complexities of conflict resolution. It should be grounded in empirical research and grounded in reality.

The book is structured into three parts, each delving into different aspects of ethics in business. Part One examines ethics from an individual perspective, exploring the ethical dilemmas and challenges faced by individuals in various contexts. Part Two examines the intersection of ethics and business, highlighting the ethical considerations and responsibilities of companies in their operations and interactions with stakeholders. Part Three examines ethics in a globalized world, addressing the ethical challenges and opportunities presented by the interconnectedness of nations and the rapid pace of change.

In each chapter, the authors present diverse and opposing perspectives on the ethical complexities of each topic. These perspectives are thoroughly researched and academically substantiated, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the issues at hand. Each chapter concludes with an extensive literature list that includes the original sources for further reading. Additionally, each chapter features a summary that highlights the key definitions and viewpoints discussed, making the content accessible to bachelor and master students in business schools and professionals in international business.

The use of colorful and bold examples throughout the book enhances its readability and engagement, making it an enjoyable and informative resource for a wide range of audiences.
