Summary

The Ivey Casebooks Series is a co-publishing partnership between SAGE Publications and the Richard Ivey School of Business at The University of Western Ontario. Due to their popularity in more than 60 countries, approximately 200 new cases are added to the Ivey School of Business library each year. Each of the casebooks comes equipped with instructor's resources on CD-ROM. These affordable collections will not only help students connect to real-world situations, but will benefit corporations seeking continued education in the field as well. Cases in Business Ethics provides the opportunity for students not only to discuss the application of ethical theories in managerial situations, but also to apply judgment and make decisions in a real-world context. This collection of cases focuses on business decision- making, and includes both short and long, more complex cases that highlight the practicalities of business practice and ethical theory. A beneficial feature of Cases in Business Ethics is the variety of ways in which the cases can be organized to fit the course curriculum. The instructor's resources on CD-ROM includes detailed 6-10 page casenotes for each case, preparation questions for students to review before class, discussion questions, and suggested further readings.
