This volume explores the value of business integrity and ethics as a best practice model in
business strategy. The authors define business integrity explore areas in which integrity is
often absent or discredited and provide a framework and tools to help build better business
ethics and corporate social responsibility. The volume aims to reveal that beyond the immediate
economic effect corruption can ruin entire countries by destabilizing key economic and
political players warping their vision for state development. Against the backdrop of global
financial and ethical crises the authors argue that integrity in business is a key component
for long-term success. Integrity includes the ability to be consistent with one's moral values
and principles and places society's wishes at the center of business decision-making. The
cornerstone upon which a culture of integrity is built within a certain business is the ethics
code. It explicitly states the values and principles to which a company adheres. The continuous
promotion support and communication of the ethics code stipulations provide the basis upon
which integrity in business is built. Featuring case studies from countries such as Sweden
Great Britain and France and companies such Starbucks Nike PSEG and Anglo-American PLC this
volume provides a comprehensive study of business integrity and social responsibility that will
be of interest to students scholars professionals and policy-makers from around the world.
