The purpose of this book is to provide an introduction to the language and concepts of business ethics and to show some of the benefits and challenges of applying these ideas in a practical, organisational context. My wife and two sons similarly deserve thanks for their patience in putting up with an absent-minded member of the household with a tendency to hoard odd clippings from newspapers about strange happenings in the business world. I would also like to acknowledge the comments made by the numerous reviewers of earlier drafts and the patience and persistence of Ursula Gavin, the editor at Palgrave. My past colleagues at Staffordshire University Business School deserve particular thanks for their contributions, intentional or otherwise. This is particularly true of the large number of thoughtful managers I have had the pleasure of working with in class discussions, projects and live contexts, where ethical theories have come up against hard reality and the complexity of evolving dilemmas.
