商品描述
This volume provides bridges from the social sciences to business ethics and from the latter to the quality of life, by connecting the research themes of quality of life, social sciences, including public policy-making, and business ethics or corporate responsibility. It builds on the premise that public policy making is essentially a species of good decision making, as explained in the first volume. It shows that, because most developed countries function as market economies whose governments depend on taxation to pay for their services and because a large proportion of government revenue comes from well-regulated, responsible corporations, the quality of people's lives is highly dependent upon good public policies, taxation and business ethics. The volume presents and examines ethical/moral problems arising in market economies since the first century BCE, including the first appearance of the business case for business ethics, fourteen arguments concerning the neglect of business ethics, business ethics issues for the 1990s and beyond, the loyal agent's argument, advertising, the importance of trust, public opinion polling, public program evaluation, and a critique of the relatively new monster of super-capitalism. In addition, it deals with connections among the concepts of efficiency, morality, and rationality related to decision making in general and public policy making in particular. Finally, it explains relationships between outcomes measurement and performance indicators in general and performance-based management in public administration, the taxation of net wealth and financial transactions.

本卷從社會科學到商業倫理,再從商業倫理到生活品質,建立了橋樑,通過連結生活品質、社會科學(包括公共政策制定)以及商業倫理或企業責任的研究主題。它基於這樣的前提:公共政策制定本質上是一種良好決策的形式,如第一卷所解釋的那樣。它顯示,由於大多數發達國家作為市場經濟運行,其政府依賴稅收來支付服務,而政府收入的很大一部分來自於良好規範的負責任企業,因此人們的生活品質在很大程度上依賴於良好的公共政策、稅收和商業倫理。本卷呈現並檢視自公元前第一世紀以來在市場經濟中出現的倫理/道德問題,包括商業倫理的商業案例首次出現、關於忽視商業倫理的十四個論點、1990年代及以後的商業倫理問題、忠誠代理人的論點、廣告、信任的重要性、民意調查、公共計畫評估,以及對相對較新的超資本主義怪物的批評。此外,它還探討了與一般決策及特別是公共政策制定相關的效率、道德和理性概念之間的聯繫。最後,它解釋了結果測量與績效指標之間的關係,以及公共行政中基於績效的管理、淨財富和金融交易的稅收。
