Just as mainstream businesses became increasingly defined by their financial performance, banks, it seemed, got themselves - and everyone else - into trouble through an over-emphasis on themselves as commercial enterprises that need pay little attention to traditional banking virtues or ethics. While the GFC had many causes, criticism was legitimately levelled at banks over the ethics of mortgage creation, excessive securitisation, executive remuneration, and high-pressure customer sales tactics, amongst other things. These criticisms mirror those that have been levelled at the business more generally, particular in the last decade, although the backdrop provided by the GFC is more dramatic, and the outcomes of supposed wrongdoing more severe. This book focuses on business ethics after the GFC; not on the crisis itself, but how we should respond to it. The GFC has focused minds on the proper role of ethics in the understanding and conduct of business activity, but it is essential to look beyond the crisis to address the deeper challenges that it highlights. The aim of this volume is to present examples of the latest philosophically-informed thinking across a range of ethical issues that relate to business activity, using the banks and the GFC - the consequences of which continue to reverberate - as a point of departure. The book will be of great value to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students interested in business, ethics in general, and business ethics in particular. 588 Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 647 7 Global Financial Crisis|d(2008-2009)|2fast|1https:// id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vBbr3T8xBMDbJhDhGmm 648 7 2008-2009|2fast 650 0 Business ethics. 650 0 Financial institutions|xLaw and legislation. 650 0 Banks and banking|xMoral and ethical aspects. 650 0 Global Financial Crisis, 2008-2009. 650 6 Morale des affaires. 650 6 Crise financière mondiale, 2008-2009. 650 7 Banks and banking|xMoral and ethical aspects|2fast 650 7 Business ethics|2fast 650 7 Financial institutions|xLaw and legislation|2fast 700 1 Dempsey, James. 700 1 Sorell, Tom. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCowton, Christopher J.|tBusiness Ethics after the Global Financial Crisis : Lessons from the Crash |dMilton : Routledge,c2019|z9781138330504 830 0 Routledge Studies in Business Ethics Ser. 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9780429825880/?ar |zAvailalbe on O'Reilly for Public Libraries 994 92|bJFN
