This work is published under the auspices of the Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics. The contributors are, for the most part, members of the association, people working, teaching and consulting in applied ethics in companies and public organisations throughout Australia. Many of them also draw on a background in ethics in the US, the UK and near Asia, as well as in Australia.Their various backgrounds have produced a book that is readily distinguishable from other books on ethics. This book extends beyond ethical theory into actual practice. It draws on the knowledge and experience of over 20 contributors across 14 different disciplines. Each outlines workable methods for strengthening ethical practices in our business organisations and public institutions.
