(Ebook) Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know by J. S. Nelson, Lynn A. Stout ISBN 9780190610272, 0190610271

This book was a labor of love. Lynn Stout, who had been myCorporations professor at Harvard Law School, and who hadkept in touch with me for nearly twenty years afterwards asI taught in business schools, asked me whether I would liketo co- author a book on business ethics with her. The originalidea for the book had been legendary Oxford University Press(OUP) editor Scott Parris’s. He had brought the proposal toLynn, and Lynn wanted my perspective from teaching in businessschools.We were together excited to create the first book we knew ofits kind that would survey not only moral philosophy, behavioralscience, economic principles, and other contributions, butto make business- law concepts accessible and understandableto businesspeople and students of law, business, and ethics.We thought it would be particularly important to talk aboutcompliance, investigations, whistleblowing, and prosecutionsas well. We wanted to end with an appendix of people and resourcesthat anyone with questions could reach out to.
