Bibliography. About the author.

This book is the second perceived concern, the attitude of "some" students who consider the notion of relating business with social responsibility as a big joke. They are taking up accountancy, business and management in order "to earn a lot of money." Others view the juxtaposition of the words as impossible. Still others consider relating business with social rsponsibility as irrelevant. Some would even perceive ethics and social responsibility as a threat or as a weakness, rather than as a natural outgrowth of the current movements in the industry towards excellence and quality. This book will highlight the truth that corporate social responsiblity is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision- making, and the honoring of a triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit. It has become a heavily discussed topic in business ethics. Identifying some accepted and moral principles as a basis for discussion, Business Ethics, and Social Responsibility eaxmines ethical dimensions of our relationship with families, friends and workmates, the extent to which we have obligations as memebers of teams and communities,and how far ethics may grind our commitments to organizations and countries. It offers an innovative analysis that differentiates amongst our genuine ethical obligations to individuals, counterfeit obligations to identity groups, and involved role-based obligations in organized groups. It suggests that often individualsneed intuitive moral judgement developed by experience, reflection, and dialogue to identify the different requirements that merge from them in complex group stuations. These conditions include somwhere people have to discern what their organizations' corporate social responsibilities imply for the as an individuals and other cases where individuals have to deal with cinflicts amongst their obligations or with efforts by other people to exploit them.
