Description

Explore a pioneering work on the fundamental principles of ethical leadership. In Saving Human Lives: Lessons in Management Ethics, Professor Allinson presents a thesis that valuing human life must be the core of management practices. This book examines how recent disasters, including the tsunami, highlight the need for ethical decision-making in business. The text provides a unique comparison between the concepts of Fate and High Technology. It offers a deep analysis of how the definition of an "accident" shapes our perception of reality and management responsibilities. By investigating how concepts rule our lives, this book helps readers understand the underlying structures of organizational ethics. Supported by a wide-ranging investigation, the author uses court cases and government documents spanning from the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries. With evidence drawn from diverse locations such as the USA, UK, and New Zealand, this work provides a global perspective on the universal nature of business ethics. It is an essential resource for those studying international law and management ethics.
