    Case Histories in Business Ethics illustrates and extends the role of case histories in the teaching and study of business ethics. Typically, case histories are used to illustrate assertions or arguments, or to stimulate debate about an issue within business ethics. This volume examines that role, illustrating the link between case histories and more general theoretical approaches to business ethics. It also discusses the role of case histories in engaging the wider cognitive and affective capacities of the student and therefore the development of character.
