This book is a comprehensive review of the principles and practices of ethical (and unethical) management around the world. It shows how unethical practices have blighted almost every area of business life. More importantly, it shows how ethical management can lead to improved profits, and explains how it can be put into practice. We need ethical standards to live by as individuals and organisations. Without these we are unlikely to make a success of our personal or business lives, or live principled lives.
