This is the first study of business ethics to take into consideration the plethora of issues raised by the Information Age. The book explores a wide range of topics, including marketing, privacy, and the protection of personal information; employees and communication privacy; intellectual property issues; the ethical issues of e-business; Internet-related business ethics problems; and the ethical dimension of information technology on society. For each of the areas explored, the author uncovers previously ignored ethical issues, underlines the need for more public discussion, and argues that computers and information technology have not necessarily developed in the most ethical manner possible.

The first book to address the whole spectrum of multinational business ethics, Competing with Integrity in International Business examines moral debates about operating ethically in virtually every major market environment in the world. Taking the company of integrity as its objective, it offers guidelines for multinationals in underdeveloped countries as well as original strategies for corporations competing in corrupt environments. Backed by the distinguished author's wide and varied experience, both as a scholar and as consultant to firms and business institutions around the world, Competing with Integrity in International Business covers cooperation with local government, taxes, respect for and compliance with local society, human rights, national development, and other challenges, as well as responses to immoral adversaries and the use of publicity to expose corrupt actions. With case studies from across the globe, including the former Soviet bloc, China, Japan, and the European Community, this will prove an invaluable resource for business professionals, ethicists, philosophers, and students.

(The sustained, widespread, and sometimes violent attacks ...)
The sustained, widespread, and sometimes violent attacks on authority that characterized the year 1968 have subsided; the erosion of authority, however, has quietly continued. Frequently those who uphold authority have been no more clear in their defense than those who have attacked it have been in their protest. A large number of recent works have dealt with particular aspects of authority: the classical analysis of Max Weber has been thoroughly critiqued; the sociologist Robert Nisbet has described the "twilight of authority"; and the psychologist Stanley Milgram has dramatically portrayed some of the pernicious psychological aspects of "obedience to authority." Richard De George has undertaken the task of writing a comprehensive philosophical analysis in order to clarify what authority is, what its forms are, which of its functions can be justified, and when it should be challenged and resisted. The analysis undertaken in this book is not restricted to political authority; it seeks to define the nature and status of authority in all its myriad forms. Following a logical and conceptual analysis of authority, De George applies that analysis first to the domains of public life, especially the political and economic realms, and then to the private domains of morality, religion, education, and creativity. In his conclusion he draws together the implications for American society. Although not written as a text, this volume will be useful in political philosophy, political science, and sociology courses.
