Ethics and Business: An Integrated Approach for Business and Personal Success, 1st Edition
By Paul C. Godfrey and Laura Jacobus
You shouldn’t have to check your values at the door when it comes to your career. This way of thinking can lead to ethical breakdowns and crises. Instead, make better professional decisions by incorporating your personal values into your work.
WileyPlus for Ethics and Business: An Integrated Approach for Business and Personal Success provides students with the practical knowledge and skills to identify ethical dilemmas, understand ethical behavior in themselves and others, and advocate for ethical behavior within their organization. Throughout the course, students are given numerous opportunities to engage in ethical behavior. The WileyPlus course contains a variety of role-plays, simulations, and business cases, from short scenarios to longer, traditional cases to help students practice ethical thinking. We’ve also provided an extensive library of videos that bring ethical challenges and solutions to life and provide in-depth discussions of critical issues.

Promote critical thinking and provide students with real-world ethics experience with case-based activities.
Throughout the text, “Mini-Cases” provide students with a quick opportunity to consider a specific subject or concept. Each case has enough value on both sides for students to create and argue for multiple solutions, making these an excellent choice for in-class discussions or brief written assignments
“Brief Cases” (2-4 pages) offer students more context, detail, and choices than mini-cases. Brief cases are based on dilemmas facing actors, executives, managers, or employees and provide 60-80 minutes of discussion.
“Traditional Cases” are located at the end of each chapter and contain detailed explanations, multiple points of discussion, as well as data and exhibits that can be used for homework or group projects. Many of the examples include unique expert interview videos with key stakeholders from the care companies that provide additional contextual information. These cases are organized into three categories: individual, organizational, and societal.
Motivate students with original video assignments that illustrate core concepts and cases.
Business Ethics in Action Videos Many of the traditional cases are accompanied by expert videos featuring various executive positions such as Vice President, Chief Sustainability Officer, and more. Students can use these videos to learn more about the companies featured in their case studies, such as Apple and Ecolab.
Learning Objective Videos Learning objectives are accompanied by short videos featuring the author team. Together they answer related questions and provide additional examples and stories to engage students in key chapter concepts.
Engage students with one-of-a-kind content that helps them develop a strong ethical framework in their professional and personal lives.
Accessible and easy to read. Each chapter follows the style of a Harvard Business Review article, with coherent organization, clear definitions, and lots of examples to show how concepts operate in the real world. If you enjoy reading something, you’ll learn more and be more likely to apply what you’ve learned.
Ethics in the Real World boxes feature known companies and situations featured in current media that show how course concepts do relate to the real world.
The final chapter is a special topics chapter, which will change with each edition. For example, the Ethical Issues of Technology, Chapter 14 of this first edition, discusses:
– How can technology solve social problems?
– How does technology impact our views of morality?
– What roles and responsibilities do businesses have to steward technology?
The unique Careers and Life Sections help students make ethical decisions about their future careers and personal lives.
Each chapter includes a “From The Source” sidebar. These brief passages expose students to the works of prominent ethical thinkers.
