Managing Human Excellence
Written by leading European expert Domènec Melé, this is the ideal companion for students determined to make the business world a more ethical and moral place.

Taking a unique personalist approach and placing human action at the heart of conducting business morally and ethically, this textbook expertly makes the case that a successful business is an ethical business.

Thoroughly revised and updated, this new, 3rd edition addresses contemporary challenges in business ethics shaped by technological advancements, societal evolution and global economic shifts, including artificial intelligence, environmental ethics, sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

Coverage of international standards proposed by recognised authorities, including the UN and the International Labour Organization, combined with numerous global case studies and reflective questions per chapter, contribute to a valuable text for students wanting to understand the practicalities of business ethics. A go-to resource for those who are determined to make a genuine, positive impact on the complex business world of today, students can dive into the complex decisions made by some of the world’s most powerful multinationals.
