Executive Ethics: Ethical Dilemmas and Challenges for the C Suite provides a variety of readings squarely focused on the contemporary ethical dilemmas and challenges faced by today’s C-suite executives.  In addition to identifying the contemporary ethical dilemmas and challenges facing today’s C-suite executives, the contributors provide both knowledge and insight on how C-suite executives can proactively address such ethics issues.  The contributors provide unique value propositions for the C-suite regarding the most critical ethical issues facing organizations, while also highlighting useful information for senior executives interested in integrating ethics into the leadership and management practices of their organizations (i.e. how they are building a long-term, strategic, enterprise approach to ethics).
