The key to teaching business ethics successfully, says Sims, is to start with clear goals and a sensible expectation of outcomes, and with a true knowledge and appreciation of how people actually learn. Proceeding with the conviction that open communications between teacher and student before, during, and after the teaching experience is vital, Sims identifies key teaching processes, gives practical advice on designing and planning the curriculum, and offers guidance on how to develop a climate conducive to effective learning. He also emphasizes learning styles and experiential learning theory as cornerstones of teaching business ethics, an approach unlike any in the literature. An important guide for those who are new to teaching this essential subject, Sims' book will also help more experienced teachers who wonder why their own methods do not always work, or do not work as well as they think they should.

Business takes place in an increasingly global environment, where business, governments and civil society interact across diverse political systems and cultures. From third world sweatshops to restrictions on tobacco advertising, this creates particular tensions and dilemmas encountered in doing business across political and cultural boundaries. Most current texts on business ethics fail to bridge the gap between ethical theory, business management and international public policy. This innovative textbook provides a topical and relevant analysis of the ethical dimensions of doing business in a global political economy. From a starting point of applied ethics, the book introduces a common set of normative terms and analytical tools for examining and discussing real case scenarios. The case scenarios are taken from actual news articles drawn from the business media, illustrating the reality of ethical decision-making in a genuine corporate context. The central focus lies with how to make and explain `best choice' judgements in international business situations. Anyone with an interest in the ethical implications of international business, or the business implications of corporate responsibility in the global market will find this book a thought-provoking yet balanced analysis. Clearly written, with extensive real world examples, this book will be the textbook of choice in this challenging field.

As women are entering the workforce in record numbers, there is an urgent need to address the specific ethical problems that working women face. Providing a conceptual framework from which practical issues can be addressed, the authors focus on sexual harassment, comparable worth, leadership, advertising, and working-class women.

This is not merely a summary of others' work; it is a book that will frame debates on gender, ethics, business, and economics and serve as an exemplar for the critical treatment of basic human concerns.
