In his ground-breaking new textbook, Mick Fryer offers students of Business Ethics clear explanations of a range of theoretical perspectives, along with examples of how these perspectives might be used to illuminate the ethical challenges presented by business practice. The book includes: . Realistic scenarios which gently introduce a theory and demonstrate how it can be applied to a real-life ethical dilemma that everyone can relate to, such as borrowing money from a friend . Real organisational case studies in each chapter which illustrate how each theory can be applied to real business situations. Cases include Nike, Coca Cola, BMW, Shell, Starbucks and GSK . 'Pause for Reflection' boxes and 'Discussion Questions' which encourage you to challenge the established notions of right and wrong, and empower you to develop your own moral code . Video Activities in each chapter with accompanying QR codes which link to documentaries, films, debates and news items to get you thinking about real-life ethical dilemmas Visit the book's companion website for self-test questions, additional web links and more at: study.sagepub.com/fryer.

The need to hasten the exchange of business information over the years
has resulted in ever‐changing business practices culminating in the
advent of electronic data interchange (EDI). Looks at the progress of
EDI, the evolution of the syntax used for EDI messages and the services
available for the electronic transmission of EDI data. As EDI software
has become more sophisticated so have its applications and these trends
are illustrated by a series of case studies involving large
multinationals with dedicated IT departments as well as small
organizations, often with no computer knowledge at all. The automotive
industry is one sector which is earnestly implementing EDI to maximize
its full potential. There is an increasing trend towards the formation
of EDI communities to keep costs down and for the mutual benefit of
community members. Opportunities available to future generations of EDI
users include continuous dialogue simulating conversation between
computers.

PurposeTo report the findings of a European Social Fund (ESF) financed study into the investigation and development of business practices and managerial skills in the social enterprises sector.Design/methodology/approachThe qualitative and grounded research investigation was conducted using interviews with owner/managers of 15 social enterprises in Greater Manchester and Lancashire, UK, and aimed to develop a strategic understanding of social enterprise business practices and issues and to develop baseline information to develop a management tool based on the balanced scorecard (BS) of Kaplan and Norton (1996). Develops a definition of social enterprise and presents a brief background of the post‐war development of the social enterprises sector, its recent growth and increasing competition for resources.FindingsThe results indicated that social enterprises adopt varying practices, face many issues and, while many are beginning to make themselves more accountable in terms of their social value, there was little evidence to suggest that social enterprises were measuring their social impact beyond providing data that was sought by funders. Reveals that the social enterprise managers implied that the next step was to become more proactive in recording and marketing their social values and that developing social value indicators is the next challenge, while evidence suggests that tools developed for social enterprises need to be informal, non‐generic and based on experiential learning.Originality/valueReveals key concepts that will form the framework for a modified BS.

The ignoring of ethics in business practice bears negative consequences for business, manifested in general negligence, such as pollution, environmental changes, problems in HRS, business relation scale in general, and eventually the maintenance and sustainability of general prosperity and business itself. The purpose of this e-book is to facilitate understanding of where ethical and moral limits actually should be underlined - as that question seems to represent most difficulty. Perhaps because the answer is plain - they are within each and every one of us, and are nurtured by each and every one of us, as that's where morality comes from. We can try to avoid taking the responsibility, as we - by our fragile human nature - frequently tend to do, but that only makes things worse for no-one else but ourselves. So when shall I start acting upon the realized importance of morality - is perhaps a more convenient question. Our contributors discuss the themes of Ethics and morality in business practice broadly, demonstrating how present and wide-spread it is in this field.
