Author Description

Sexty, Canadian Business and Society: Ethics & Responsibilities is an indigenous text that provides a broad overview of the Canadian business system and its interrelationships with society. This broad approach allows instructors considerable scope in their treatment of topics and, therefore, could be used in a variety of courses. Sexty has a unique approach to concept coverage, i.e., the concepts introduced provide a basis for discussion of current issues in the context of the concepts. The book is written from the perspective of business and managers as they are the ones having to cope with ethical, economic, and environmental issues (the triple 'e'). Sexty adopts the "business and society" approach to business ethics which is the dominant approach used in business schools. This includes the stakeholder concept, management issues, corporate social responsibility, managing ethics, etc.
