A Primer on Critical Thinking and Business Ethics cover

A Primer on Critical Thinking and Business Ethics: Critical Thinking in Unpredictable Corporate Business Contexts (Volume 3) encapsulates new developments in Critical Thinking skills for MBA students, in the form of a broad-based cross disciplinary primer in business management, with a special focus on business ethics. Each volume encourages critical thinking as a higher order type of thinking that can be taught, leading to a life of rationality, ethics and empathy, which is urgently required of leaders in a global environment where fraud and corruption are rife.

Volume 3 explores: Critical Thinking to enhance human dignity compromised by global poverty; Critical Thinking applied to current ecological sustainability crises; Critical Thinking applied to environmental ethics such as eco-feminism and animal ethics; Critical Thinking applied to outer space research that could threaten cosmic sustainability; current business management cases for Critical Thinking; and finally, Critical Thinking, mindfulness and happiness for posthuman life and beyond. It is essential reading for all MBA students, as well as for researchers and practitioners.

A must-read for anyone interested in developing graduate-level critical thinking skills and teaching future corporate leaders how to take a more nuanced perspective on the paradigm-shifting challenges they are likely to face when transitioning into their managerial career.

Organizational leaders continually tell us that what they need most are employees that know how to think and learn... Including these monographs on critical thinking in the MBA curriculum will go a long way to providing this essential need for the market.
