Business and Society: Corporate Strategy, Public Policy and Ethics

by James Weber

Post et.al. examines how stakeholders (managers, consumers, employees and community members) try to understand, influence and shape business behavior and social change. The 9th edition addresses a complex agenda of issues such the transformation of the employment relationship; the restructuring and redesigning of business; government policies toward industries; ecological and environmental problems; public concern about the ethical and moral behavior of business, and a host of new technologies. The authors continue to be the most diverse and experienced team in the business and society field. James Post is viewed as an expert in business-government relations and public affairs management. Anne Lawrence brings a rich background of business and society teaching, research and case development to the text. James Weber's well-known research and writing in the field of business ethics rounds out the team's expertise.
