Ethics in business and society

More about the book

The urgent challenge of identifying the political and social conditions necessary for a thriving economy is addressed, highlighting the role of ethicists in navigating issues faced by traditional communities grappling with sudden wealth and significant technological changes. Hong Kong exemplifies a society in transition, with limited time to make crucial ethical choices, which may contribute to its moral shortcomings. The authors, experienced scholars based in Hong Kong, represent a growing interest in ethical issues across local universities and embody an interdisciplinary approach that characterizes applied ethics research. This shift marks a departure from traditional disciplinary boundaries and philosophical isolation, allowing ethics to influence a broader academic and scientific agenda.
