This book contributes to the academic discussion on the idea of global business ethics; a key topic in an era that knows a global economy, international and supranational policies, but not a shared sense of morality, nor a common ethical code. It explores nine religions - Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Animism, and Zoroastrianism - and draws inspiration from their ethical traditions, examining if religiosity can be used as a source for shared ethics.
The authors apply the ethical systems of these religions to pressing issues within business ethics, including technology, work, entrepreneurship, models of consumption, advertising, leadership and management, and ecology. The book will appeal to academics studying business ethics, corporate social responsibility, and religiosity in organisations.
