Since its inception, An Introduction to Business Ethics, by Joseph DesJardins, has been a cutting-edge resource for the business ethics course. DesJardins's unique approach encompasses all that an introductory business ethics course is, from a multidisciplinary perspective. It offers critical analysis and integrates the perspective of philosophy with management, law, economics, and public policy, providing a clear, concise, yet reasonably comprehensive introductory survey of the ethical choices available to us in business.
