変化が激しい現代のビジネス環境において、企業倫理はかつてないほど重要なものとなっています。報道に目をやれば、非倫理的な企業行動に対する起訴、告発、罰則を報じる記事は、ほぼ毎日報じられていますし、議会では企業や個人に対する強制力を高め、処罰をより厳しくする法案を可決しています。組織は効果的な倫理・コンプライアンスプログラムの策定と実施を迫られ、自分たちの行動が富や評判を危険にさらすのではないかと、企業やビジネスパーソンはますます萎縮しています。
ビジネス倫理の境界線を超えてしまったときはどうすれば良いのでしょうか。本書はジレンマに直面するビジネスパーソンや、ビジネス倫理を学ぶ学生に念頭に置いた入門書で、ロースクールでビジネス倫理について講義するJ・S・ネルソンと、企業法の研究者のA・スタウトが共同執筆しています。道徳哲学、行動科学、企業法などの資料を独自に調査し、実践的なアドバイスを提供するほか、企業の法的地位、ビジネスにおける主な倫理の罠、交渉、内部告発と責任、ベストプラクティスなど、欠かすことのできないトピックを取り上げ、ビジネスに携わるすべての方に有用なガイドになっています。

An authoritative and practical guide to business ethics, written in an accessible question and answer format
  
In today's turbulent business climate, business ethics are more important than ever. Surveys of employees show that misconduct is on the rise. Cover stories reporting indictments, prosecutions, and penalties imposed for unethical business conduct appear almost daily. Legislatures pass requirements elevating the levels of punishment and their enforcement against corporations and individuals. Organizations face pressure to design and implement effective ethics and compliance programs. As a result, businesses and businesspeople are increasingly worried that their conduct might cross lines that put their wealth and reputations at risk.
  
Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know® explains what those lines are, how not to cross them, and what to do when they are crossed. Written for both businesspeople facing real-life dilemmas and students studying ethical questions, this succinct book uniquely surveys materials from moral philosophy, behavioral science, and corporate law, and shares practical advice. Experts J.S. Nelson and Lynn A. Stout cover a wide array of essential topics including the legal status of corporations, major ethical traps in modern business, negotiations, whistleblowing and liability, and best practices. Written in a short question-and-answer style, this resource provides engaging and readable introductions to the basic principles of business ethics, and an invaluable guide for dealing with ethical dilemmas.

著者について: 

J.S. Nelson is a professor of law and an expert legal advisor. She holds the first tenure-track appointment in a U.S. law school specifically to teach business ethics and develop law-school curricula around the subject. She teaches at Villanova University's Charles Widger School of Law, has a courtesy appointment at Villanova's Business School, and is a senior fellow at the Zicklin Center for Business Ethics Research at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. She has received numerous awards from the Academy of Legal Studies in Business, and she publishes in top law-reviews and peer-reviewed journals.
  
Lynn A. Stout was an American corporate law scholar, and a Distinguished Professor of Corporate & Business Law at Cornell Law School. She researched and wrote about corporate law, securities and derivatives regulation, law and economics, business ethics, and prosocial behavior in relation to the law. Her other books include Cultivating Conscience: How Good Laws Make Good People (2011); The Shareholder Value Myth: How Putting Corporations First Harms Investors, Corporations, and the Public (2012); and Citizen Capitalism: How A Universal Fund Can Provide Influence and Income to All (published posthumously in 2019). She died in 2018, with this book in progress.

"Nelson and Stout have written a readable and eminently usable book that answers the questions that real business people—whether they are organizational leaders or middle managers or entry employees—wonder and even worry about. What's more, their answers are informed and supported by research but presented in a directly applicable manner. Most importantly, their responses are in themselves 'tools' and 'scripts' for those of us who want to behave in accordance with our best values. And the research presented here clarifies that this is most of us." -- Mary C. Gentile, author of Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right, and Creative Director of Giving Voice to Values
  
"This is a well-written book for anyone interested in corporations and their conduct. It's an excellent resource for students and faculty." -- Timothy Fort, Eveleigh Professor of Business Ethics, Kelley School of Business
  
"When two prominent legal scholars put their personal stamp on the issue now galvanizing the planet, how ethics fits in with modern business, it is time to pay attention." -- Thomas Donaldson, Mark O. Winkelman Professor, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
   
"What do we owe—if anything—to those we do business with? Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know provides pragmatic answers to tough questions, drawing on legal requirements, professional standards, and classical philosophy. It should be your go-to-guide, especially in these rapidly changing and often competitive times." -- Michael Wheeler, Emeritus Chaired Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School
  
"This book by J. Nelson and L. Stout exhibits several virtues. First, it is accessible even to those not yet acquainted with the subject matter. It is disgraceful that intellectuals writing on business ethics tend to adopt a language that lay intelligent people cannot follow. Second, the book does not defend, in a aprioristic manner, one position over others. Rather, it clarifies pros and cons of the main theses on the subject in a balanced and fair way. Finally, this book comes out at a time characterized by the emergence of problems such as environmental degradation, pandemics, the explosion of income and wealth inequalities, problems that cannot be solved without the active intervention of businesses. Whence the great relevance of an ethical approach capable of directing their behaviour toward the common good." -- Stefano Zamagni, Professor of Economics, University of Bologna and SAIS Europe of the Johns Hopkins University
   
"This book contains extremely useful, science-based guidance as to how we can act more ethically and effectively influence others in our organizations to do the same." -- Robert Prentice, McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin
   
"This comprehensive and accessible book, brings to the table everything one needs to know about business ethics. It addresses all the major questions and reviews in a highly clear way the relevant legal and management literatures. A fantastic achievement for Prof. J.S. Nelson and the late Prof. Lynn Stout." -- Yuval Feldman, author of The Law of Good People, and Faculty of Law, Bar-Ilan University
   
"This is a wonderful book that finally provides comprehensive guidance on how to understand and respond to business ethics challenges today. The current state of business ethics is placed firmly in historical context, and the writing is sharp and free of the jargon that dominates this field." -- Alison Taylor, Executive Director, Ethical Systems, NYU Stern School of Business
  
"An invaluable resource concerning business ethics. The chapters on compliance systems are particularly useful." -- Gideon Mark, University of Maryland Smith School of Business
  
"The book focusses on what are the most important concepts and tools for businesspeople and compliance professionals to comprehend well. It address what to do, how to do it and why to do it. It is an excellent book and important not only for businesspeople and students, but for Compliance Professionals: We see them all the time stuck in legal and paper-program issues. They more than all others should read it (and will love it)." -- Matthias Kleinhempel, Head of the Center for Governance & Transparency, IAE Business School
  
"Business Ethics is a timely yet evergreen resource for students and business leaders. Nelson and Stout bring together decades of academic research and literature in this clear and practical guide on ethical behavior and dilemmas in modern business." -- Elizabeth Pollman, Professor of Law and Co-Director of Institute for Law and Economics, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
  
"There is no doubt in my mind that this information will be useful to students and business people and that it is not discussed enough." -- Art Hinshaw, Clinical Professor of Law, Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Arizona State University
  
"An outstanding introduction to business ethics, including individual ethical decision making, leading ethical organizations, and the related legal issues. Each chapter covers an essential topic in business ethics and is organized around the key questions for that topic. This user-friendly format is valuable for the first-time reader and for returning to the book for advice in the future. This introduction to business ethics should be of value to everyone from business students to corporate leaders.
