Edition: 17th

In a world economy that is becoming increasingly integrated and interdependent, the relationship between
business and society is becoming ever more complex. The globalization of business, the emergence of civil
society organizations in many nations, and new government regulations and international agreements have
significantly altered the job of managers and the nature of strategic decision making within the firm. The
Seventeenth Edition of Business and Society: Stakeholders, Ethics, Public Policy draws on the latest research to
address the challenges facing business organizations and their stakeholders. The text builds on its legacy of
market leadership by reexamining central issues.
