By Robert Sexty, Sophia Kusyk, Shelley Price
View profile for: Dr. Sophia Kusyk

Sexty is a Canadian ground up text that provides a broad overview of the Canadian business system, its interrelationships with society and the expectation of ethics in business, and business's adherence to moral standards.


The book's title emphasizes "Business Ethics in Canada" in addition to three key words: responsibility, equity, and sustainability. The ethics of business refers to the rules, standards, codes, values, or principles that provide guidance for morally appropriate behaviour in managerial decision-making relating to the operation of businesses and business's relationship with society. Business is accepted by society as long as it recognizes the responsibilities in its operations and treats rights holders fairly and equitably. Sustainability represents a management approach that integrates economic, ethical, and environmental responsibilities into all management systems for the present and future benefit of society.
