Edward Freeman\u003c\/b\u003e heads Darden's Olsson Center for Applied Ethics, one of the world's leading academic centers for the study of ethics. Freeman has written or edited 10 books on business ethics, environmental management, and strategic management. His latest book, \u003ci\u003eEnvironmentalism and the New Logic of Business, How Firms Can be Profitable and Leave Our Children a Living Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, helps executives meet the challenge of being profitable while being environmentally responsible. He has also authored more than 40 Darden case studies. Freeman serves on the advisory board of University of Virginia Institute for Practical Ethics.\u003cbr\u003e Before joining The Darden School in 1986, Freeman taught at the University of Minnesota and The Wharton School. He has received teaching awards at all three schools.\u003c\/p\u003e In the years since the \u003ci\u003eBlackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Business Ethics, First Edition\u003c\/i\u003e was published, the business ethics climate had changes dramatically, particularly with revelations of financial impropriety from companies such as Enron, WorldCom, Global Crossing, and Tyco. Consequently, the second edition of this volume, while maintaining the standard terms and concepts in business ethics, now weaves the lessons learned from these instances of financial malfeasance into many of the entries, and includes many new subjects such as corporate citizenship, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and socially responsible investing. This edition also has entries pertaining to the increasingly sophisticated technology and science of today’s world: E-Business, Internet and Business Ethics, nanotechnology, and biodiversity. Many of the entries, particularly those dealing with different countries, have been updated to reflect the current business climate of those countries.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990171959525,"sku":"NP9781405100137","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405100137.jpg?v=1761786778","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-blackwell-encyclopedia-of-management-business-ethics-isbn-9781405100137","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
