Description

In Business and Society: Building Skills and Awareness for the Workplace, students learn how business, when handled with integrity, can make a positive impact on society and its stakeholders. Students explore the role of business organizations in society and how businesses should conduct themselves with customers, government entities, and more, at the local and international levels.

Part I provides students with an overview of the relationship between business and society, as well as the skills and awareness needed to succeed at work. Part II is dedicated to career competencies, discussing college-level writing and career development strategies. In Part III, students learn about the dynamics of working in groups and teams, leadership theory, what it takes to work in an international environment, the effects of globalization on business, the importance of ethics and corporate social responsibility, and the role of inclusion and belonging in professional settings.

The third edition features new images and tables with data on team personality and diversity and discrimination in the workplace. The chapters have also been revised to include updated references and text from new contributors.

Designed to serve as a practical guide for students interested in business professions, Business and Society is ideal for undergraduate courses in business studies.
