The Ethics of Global Business examines the question of economic globalization and the ethical obligations of multinational corporations. Arguing that basic human rights are the minimal guiding standard for the conduct of businesses globally, Arnold places this discussion at the forefront of current volatile issues such as corruption, outsourcing, and sweatshops.


Written with optimism and elegance, The Ethics of Global Business examines the numerous strategic benefits of moral imagination for multinational corporations, and includes case studies as examples. This volume is an excellent resource for students, providing both a background in moral reasoning and an overview of the issues most at stake in an increasingly global economy.
