Review Ethics and Values in Health Care Management (Professional Ethics) / Routledge:This timely and topical book explores whether there is a place for ethics in the field of health care management and, if so, what this place is. Bringing together diverse views and including three international case studies, Ethics and Values in Health Care Management presents the debate between those who think that ethics should occupy a central place in health care management and those who deny that constructing an ethic for health care managers is a feasible project. Among the topics discussed are health care rationing, an analysis of how managers can be preoccupied with the goals of management and the values of doctors simultaneously, an outline of potential guidelines towards formulating a cohesion of health care management and ethical management, and a reassessment of the role of health care professionals. Ethics and Values in Health Care Management provides a much-needed analysis of subject and offers solutions towards improving health care organizations.

Review Integrative Economic Ethics: Foundations of a Civilized Market Economy / Cambridge University Press:Integrative Economic Ethics is a highly original work that progresses through a series of rational and philosophical arguments to address foundational issues concerning the relationship between ethics and the market economy. Rather than accepting market competition as a driver of ethical behaviour, the author shows that modern economies need to develop ethical principles that guide market competition, thus moving business ethics into the realms of political theory and civic rationality. Now in its fourth edition in the original German, this first English translation of Peter Ulrich's development of a new integrative approach to economic ethics will be of interest to all scholars and advanced students of business ethics, economics, and social and political philosophy.

Review The Ethics of Accounting and Finance: Trust, Responsibility, and Control (National Conference on Business Ethics//Proceedings) / Quorum Books:Edited and revised specifically for this volume, here are the best papers from the Tenth National Conference on Business Ethics, sponsored by Bentley College's Center for Business Ethics. Throughout, the contributors emphasize the ethical dimensions of problems and issues that confront the financial services and accounting industries, issues that are also of critical importance to business generally. Included among the contributors are members of the academic community, lawyers, government officials, and financial services and accounting professionals, each with his or her own special perspective, but all focused on the central theme: the importance of ethics and its proper role in the way financial services and accounting are done. Throughtful, challenging reading, not only for academics but for finance and accounting professionals as well. Part I examines the ethics of the fiduciary relationship between principals and agents, defining the nature of trust and helping readers understand the fiduciary responsibility and conflicts of interest characteristic to the industry. In Part II, the contributors look at specific issues in ethics and financial disclosure, with particular focus on nonprofit healthcare organizations, financial derivatives, and confidentiality in a professional context as representative cases. More cases are presented in Part III, examining a variety of situations and events, such as the BCCI affair and the failure of banks. Part IV offers lessons from the past and a look toward the future, with such topics as the ethics of financial derivatives in the history of economic thought and the development of moral reasoning and professional judgment of auditors in public practice.

Review Contemporary Issues in Business Ethics / Nova Science Publishers:Business ethics is a form of the art of applied ethics that examines ethical rules and principles within a commercial context, the various moral or ethical problems that can arise in a business setting, and any special duties or obligations that apply to persons who are engaged in commerce. Business ethics can be both a normative and a descriptive discipline. As a corporate practice and a career specialisation, the field is primarily normative. In academia, descriptive approaches are also taken. The range and quantity of business ethical issues reflects the degree to which business is perceived to be at odds with non-economic social values. Historically, interest in business ethics accelerated dramatically during the 1980s and 1990s, both within major corporations and within academia. For example, today most major corporate websites lay emphasis on commitment to promoting non-economic social values under a variety of headings (e. g. ethics codes, social responsibility charters). In some cases, corporations have redefined their core values in the light of business ethical considerations. [+]Catching business ethics in action, however, remains a seldom-spotted nugget for in reality it depends on the characters of the characters.

Review CPA's Multistate Guide to Ethics and Professional Conduct (2008) (Cpa Guides) / CCH, Inc.:CPA s Multistate Guide to Ethics and Professional Conduct provides CPAs with a single reference source regarding ethics and professional standards set by the national and international standard-setting bodies, as well as the individual state societies. As the book states: "The importance of proper ethical behavior by accountants cannot be understated. As seen in the aftermath of the high profile accounting scandals of the 21st century, an absence of or decline in ethics and moral character leads to a loss of public trust. A loss of public trust undermines the very fabric of our societal and economic beliefs and actions. When public trust is lost, previously unspoken or informal conventions of proper behavior are lost; and, when these informal conventions are lost, government and the public resort to more rules and regulations to restore their trust". The goal of the authors is to promote ethical conduct within the accounting profession by providing ethics concepts, interpretive material, and practical examples. This book gives readers both a technical and in-depth review of professional conduct as it applies to practitioners and CPAs who work in an industry setting. This guide is a must-have for CPAs wishing to stay compliant in an ever-changing regulatory environment. It is filled with Practice Pointers, Observations, Actual Ethics Cases and a special Ethics Q&A.

Review The Market and Public Choices: An Ethical Assessment / Ashgate Publishing:This text assumes a viewpoint practically absent from contemporary economics and readdresses the first fundamental question of economics: how should we decide how scarce resources should be allocated among competing uses? By focusing on this question the book necessarily reconstitutes the link between ethics and economics. Thus the book deals with a crucial topic: the moral assessment of the market mechanism as a tool for allocating scarce resources. The key tenet of the book is that the market achieves ends that transcends itself - ends that must remain the prerogative of civil society. Questions of the foundations of moral philosophy are considered - allocating scarce resources is shown to be an exclusively human capacity, which means that the market is unable to determine such issues endogenously. An intuitionist approach to moral philosophy is developed and this is placed in the context of the history of Western moral philosophy. The argument encompasses mathematical logic, philosophy of mind, moral philosophy and economics.
