Ethics is all the rage throughout society these days; the ethics of business is no exception. Today, integrity if important to busines peformance and acceptance by society. Society expects business adherence to moral standards such as honesty, fairness, and justice. This book provides a broad overview of the Canadian business system and society's expectations of it. The book's title emphasizes "business and society" in addition to three key words: ethics, responsibiltiies, and sustainabiltity. The ethics of business referes to the rules, standards, codes, values, or principles that provide guidance for morally appropriate behavour in managerial decision making relating to the operation of businesses and business's relationship with society. Business is accepted by society as long as it recognizes the responsibilities in its operations and considers the needs and desires of society. The result has been increasing obligations with business agreeing to do more. Sustainability represents a management approach that integrates economic, ethical, and environmental responsibilities into all management systems. The corporation--the main business institution--accepts the necessity for integrity in business and recognizes the accompanying responsibiltiies. Throughout the book, the term corporation is used to represent business enterprises. The formal and legal entity of the corporation does not supply all the goods and services to society, but it is by far the principla business institution. The ethics and responsibilities of business and society are connected to the concept of stakeholders, individuals or organizations that influence the corporation and/or that are influenced by the corporation. This concept will be described fully in the book and is key to the connection to or linkage between business and society--from Preface.
