Description: This book proposes a decision-making model for Cosmopolitan business ethics as the foundation of management and leadership in dealing with the complexities of globalisation. The case-studies will address the efforts of businesses to work with global and cosmopolitan business ethics at the levels of maintaining corporate integrity. Both the theoretical argument and case-studies presented in the book are supplemented with interviews with notable business ethicists, philosophers of management, business managers and public policy-makers.
Review Quotes:
'In an age of corporate scandals, tax evasion schemes and high-profile climate-change denial, Rendtorff reminds us that business activity is morally, politically and constitutionally justified if and only if it is socially responsible and globally conducive to the good life.' -- Prof. Giorgio Baruchello, University of Akureyri
'Jacob Dahl proves that "business ethics" is not a standalone discipline and those who naturally practice "cosmopolitan corporate integrity" can readily produce win-win situations for all involved. Society needs this fascinating and insightful read to become a text book in every business school and a desk book for every executive.' -- Julian Clarke, European Business Ethics Network Ireland
'What I found most valuable and most interesting was [Jacob Dahl Rendtorff's] description and discussion of business ethics in Germany. This is, as he points out, a tradition unknown in the English-speaking world but it is socially valuable. All in all, this book is a substantial contribution to business ethics in English.' -- Guðmundur Heiðar Frímannsson, Nordicum-Mediterraneum, 2019
