The mind of the superior man is conversant with righteousness; The mind of the mean man is conversant with gain.
Ethics has become the buzzword in the corporate world because of globalization and communication explosion. Ethics is related to every aspect of our life. It is the set of the guiding principle for doing right things.
Ethics is a part of business and the business cannot overlook various ethical issues. Business Ethics has been a hot topic and a growing discipline in India.
This book is an adventure into the world of Business Ethics, Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Corporate Governance deals essentially with ethical issues. The need to study Corporate Governance has become imperative in view of the number of international frauds and other irregularities that the business world has seen from the third quarter of the last century.
I am fully aware reference books are rather heavy for the majority of the students. It does not mean that students should follow the easy path and use only exam-oriented books.
Only I have made humble attempt to fill up the gap and help the students and teachers community giving them a suitable textbook catering to their special needs.
