Ultimately, theseprocesses collectively influence a firm's 1) overall sense ofbusiness ethics, 2) management ofemployees, and 3) interactions with partners outside of the immediate work environment.Researcher and practitioners are interested in organizational ethics because the differentapproaches used to develop such a context generate many other positive business outcomes.While the connection between organizational ethics and employee/stakeholder well-being hasbeen explored, moving forward with a number of new investigations should push the literatureforward. This book seeks to explore these important topics and present a more comprehensive overview of organizational ethics andstakeholder well-being in the business environment. Such inquiry is important because the linkages between business ethics andstakeholders, if wellmanaged, have the capacity to benefit both companies and employees.
