The following does that:

<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
  <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="chapter/title">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:text>Business Ethics and Social Responsibility</xsl:text>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="para">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates 
select="document('file2.xml')/personalnotes/note[@id = current()/@id]"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="note">
    <para role="note">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </para>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
