This 2nd edition of the textbook 'Business Ethics - A Philosophical and Behavioral Approach' examines the extent to which moral values play a role as productive forces for the economy. It also explores the effect of ethical and unethical behavior on the economy. This new edition has been completely revised and expanded to include new findings from the behavioral sciences, such as psychology, social psychology, sociology and behavioral economics. The author includes this expansion as it is predominantly the research on emotions, motivation and group behavior that gives rise to many new impulses for business ethics. New case studies and new chapters have been included on politics and ethics, theories of justice, global ethics, and ethical dilemmas in specific game situations. Furthermore, this textbook shows how ethics improve productivity in the economy, whilst providing specific ethics tools for practical application for students and managers alike. Stemming from an overall interdisciplinary approach - and combining recent research results from sciences such as economics, business administration, behavioral economics, philosophy, psychology and sociology - this textbook fills a large gap in the existing literature on ethics in business.
