Business & society : ethics and stakeholder management

Synopsis

Presenting recent research and case histories, Carrol (management, University of Georgia) and Buchholtz (business, University of Georgia) focus attention on the relationships between business and the rest of society<-->the government, consumers, communities, and employees<-->as well as with the environment. The book's central concern is the need of managers to balance the interests of shareholders with the company's obligations to other groups. Economic and legal considerations inform the approach.
