BUSINESS AND SOCIETY: Stakeholder Relations, Ethics and Public Policy by Lawrence and Weber has continued through several successive author teams to be the market-leader in its field. BUSINESS AND SOCIETY, 12e highlights why government regulation is sometimes required as well as new models of business-community collaboration. The authors believe that businesses have social (as well as economic) responsibilities to society; that business and government both have important roles to play in the modern economy; and that ethics and integrity are essential to personal fulfillment and to business success. In addition, this textbook has long been popular with students because of its lively writing, up-to-date examples, and clear explanations of theory. Salient Features Assessment-ready: the 12th edition includes key learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter for the first time. The authors added this feature in response to the increased interest in creating, meeting, and measuring learning outcomes as emphasized by the AACSB and other accrediting organizations. Up-to-the-minute content: the authors have updated all material theoretical content, opening cases, illustrations, exhibits, discussion cases, full-length cases, Internet resources, etc. primarily focusing on events from 2003 to the present. New cases: the authors include 10 new introductory cases, 12 new discussion cases, and 3 new full-length cases. The book is designed to be easily modularized; an instructor may adopt particular chapters and/or cases and, if wished, bundle them with other content (including classic cases from previous editions) to create a Primis product.
