Ethics and Empowerment is aimed at providing tactical, high-level solutions to today's business and professional challenges. Gathering together experts in various fields, this line of titles will benefit professionals as they face the challenges of the ever-changing business climate. Amid the burgeoning literature on business ethics, this book provides an important lead in taking a well-known everyday management notion such as "empowerment" and using it to make "ethics" more relevant and accessible to the business world. Adding a major contribution to the ongoing debate about the role of business in society, the content examines the issues of power, control, and autonomy, addressing such questions as empowerment as a matter of justice, and also provides case studies of the organizational experiences of empowerment programs.
