商品簡介
For students in business and professional ethics or governance courses, Brooks (business ethics and accounting, U. of Toronto, Canada) and Dunn (accounting, Brock U., Canada) examine the background and nature of the new stakeholder-support era of corporate and professional accountability and governance. They discuss the development of behaviors of directors, executives, and accountants and the management of ethical risks and the development of ethical competitive advantages. They combine text, readings, and cases (mostly from North America, but some from European companies) to discuss concerns driving the development of ethics before and after the Enron scandal. They explain how corporations and professional accountants can develop ethical accountability, governance, and management systems, and address issues such as ethics risk and opportunity management, stakeholder management, motivation and avoidance of fraud and white collar crime, and ethical crisis management. The final chapter (new to this edition) relates how the Enron, Arthur Andersen, and Worldcom fiascoes affected ethics expectations and frameworks. This edition has a revised chapter on expectations; a new chapter on recent ethics and governance scandals; inclusion of workplace ethics, corporate social responsibility, and international operations; 29 new cases; an updated chapter on the subprime lending crisis, including analysis of events through December 2010; and online videos.
