Business Ethics in Africa, Volume I: Values, Profits and Responsibility

There is a false assumption that the systemic corruption that exists in significant parts of sub-Saharan Africa is crippling enough to dominate any discussion of business ethics in the region. However, African companies that engage in positive ethical practices are more successful at creating value for society and remaining socially relevant in the long run, which improves their economic outlook. This two-volume edited collection offers invaluable insights on businesses seeking both profitability and ethical responsibility in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa and contributes to the growing discussion of business ethics in Africa.

What sets this book apart is its deep exploration of the African business landscape, drawing from diverse local and international insights, it provides a comprehensive and panoramic view of the challenges and opportunities inherent in domestic and global business contexts. Illuminating key concepts and theories with the help of detailed case studies, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students of business ethics and African business, as well as practitioners and policymakers working in the region.
