Rating: Summary: A practical approach to ethics! Review: This is my favourite book about ethics! The examples are down-to-earth and the theories are presented in a way that makes it easier to grasp and bring into classrooms!
Rating: Summary: Essentials on Business Ethics Review: This should be mandatory reading for business leaders today. It is one of the leading college textbooks on the subject and for good reason--the stories are incredible. Having worked at Scott Paper Compnay during the Al Dunlap regime, I know that the stories may be hard to believe but are true. The chapters do a good job of building on each other and the writing style is readable. Glad to have the next edition published.
Rating: Summary: Good utilization of case material but almost too elementary. Review: While I found the cases illustrated in the book to provide excellent examples of ethical issues involving modern day businesses, I thought it was written at a very low reading level. The chapter readings were repetative and patronizing. Definately not the required reading that I thought an MBA program would/should utilize (as in the case of my University and the required reading for the core business ethics course). Perhaps this book would be more useful to someone with little or no business background.
