This innovative new book, covering comprehensively, the entire syllabus of Business Ethics of most Institutes and Universities, aims to familiarize students about the concepts, principles, practices and philosophies of Business Ethics. Though Case Studies, Real Market Incidents, Examples and Discussion Situations from Western countries have been incorporated into the book, however, the book is predominantly set in Indian ethos and is based on the Indian ethical value system. The chapter on `Concept of Ethics in Work life according to the Bhagvad Gita` (Chapter II) may be of special interest. Summary of the Chapters reinforce the major ideas in each chapter, and the expected Questions are meant to provide learning feedback to students as well as to apply their thoughts independently and analytically.
