Ethics in Today's Business World: Reflections from Business Scholars

摘要

In an era characterized by increasing demand for ethical practices, the set of articles presented in this issue responds by highlighting the contemporary ethical issues that arise within the academic business community. These articles represent the written product of the fourth annual conference "Ethical Issues in Business: Reflections from the Business Academic Community" held at the University of Notre Dame. Two words in particular are meaningful in describing the origin of these articles: "academic" and "business". Academically, the articles represent a scholarly overview of a research area, identifying ethical issues that arise within that area or in the study of that area. From a business perspective, the authors are drawn from four of the major disciplines found within the business academic community - accounting, finance, management and marketing.
