This edited two-volume collection contributes to the growing discussion of business ethics and doing business in Africa. It offers invaluable insights into practical ways of integrating ethics with business operations to enhance corporate values, responsibility, and profitability. This first volume interrogates the intricate relationship between business success, ethics, and stakeholders’ well-being within the nuances and evolving shifts that underpin business in Africa. It restates the significance of business ethics in Africa by providing necessary contexts to the global conversation on integrating business performance with ethical obligations, social responsibilities and sustainability principles. The ideas espoused in the chapters and recommendations offered therein aim to guide academics and practitioners towards finding solutions to the ethical challenges they face in their fields of practice or daily interactions in and out of the workplace. Illuminating key concepts and theories with the help of detailed case studies, this collection will be of great use to scholars and students of business ethics, as well as practitioners and policymakers interested in or working in Africa.
