Learn to make strong business decisions with a better understanding of business ethics, sustainability and stakeholder management from a strong managerial perspective. BUSINESS AND SOCIETY: ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER MANAGEMENT, 8E, International Edition demonstrates how the most successful business decision makers balance and protect the interests of various stakeholders, including investors, employees, the community, and the environment -- particularly as business recovers from a perilous financial period.The authors effectively balance strong coverage of ethics and the stakeholder model with a new focus on one of business's most recent, urgent mandates: sustainability. Coverage highlights the connection between business and the natural, social, and financial environments, illustrating how all three must be maintained in balance to sustain current and future generations. New actual business cases, real applications and today's latest business examples present you with specific business challenges that test your values and require you to focus your reasoning skills for ongoing success in today's workplace.
The twin themes of stakeholders and ethics are emphasized in this book with real case histories. It aims to help readers to see the interrelationship or the four major areas of corporate social responsibility: economic, legal, ethical and philanthropic. This edition includes: a discussion of the major stakeholder groups (government, employees, consumers, owners, environment) business ethics, ethics and stakeholder management, global ethics, and 14 new cases.
This landmark history of corporate responsibility documents corporate power and business behaviour from the mid-eighteenth century to the modern day. It shows how corporate responsibility has evolved, with the roles, responsibilities and performance of corporations coming increasingly under the spotlight as new norms of transparency and accountability emerge.

This textbook accommodates the two divergent developmental paths which have become solidly established in the field of fusion energy: the process of sequential tokamak development toward a prototype and the need for a more fundamental and integrative research approach before costly design choices are made.Emphasis is placed on the development of physically coherent and mathematically clear characterizations of the scientific and technological foundations of fusion energy which are specifically suitable for a first course on the subject. Of interest, therefore, are selected aspects of nuclear physics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, reaction dynamics, materials science, and engineering systems, all brought together to form an integrated perspective on nuclear fusion and its practical utilization.The book identifies several distinct themes. The first is concerned with preliminary and introductory topics which relate to the basic and relevant physical processes associated with nuclear fusion. Then, the authors undertake an analysis of magnetically confined, inertially confined, and low-temperature fusion energy concepts. Subsequently, they introduce the important blanket domains surrounding the fusion core and discuss synergetic fusion-fission systems. Finally, they consider selected conceptual and technological subjects germane to the continuing development of fusion energy systems.
Business and Society: Ethics and Stakeholder Management, First Canadian Edition, employs a stakeholder management framework, which emphasizes the social and ethical responsibilities of a business to both external and internal stakeholder groups. A managerial perspective is embedded within the book?s dual themes of business ethics and stakeholder management. The ethics dimension is central because it is becoming increasingly clear that ethical or moral considerations are woven into the fabric of the public issues faced by organizations.
