Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Integrity is essential to Judeo-Christian business ethics. But today's business environment is complex. Those in business, and those preparing to enter the business world, need more than a simple admonition to live and act ethically. They need to struggle with the question of how integrity and biblical principles can be applied in the workplace. They need to go "beyond integrity" in their thinking. All too often, books on business ethics from a Judeo-Christian perspective are either very theoretical or simplistic and dogmatic. Beyond Integrity offers a balanced approach to a number of concrete ethical issues. Readings from a wide range of sources present competing perspectives on each issue, and real-life case studies further help the reader grapple with ethical dilemmas. The authors want to help the reader arrive at his or her own conclusions. To this end they provide a decision-making model. They also present, in addition to several views on each topic, a distinctly Christian perspective on each issue under discussion. A glance at the table of contents of Beyond Integrity will quickly show the reader the scope of readings and case studies, as well as the structure of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference for christian business ethics,
By Dr. Saimond Ip (saimond_ip@mckinsey.com) (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Integrity: A Judeo-Christian Approach to Business Ethics (Hardcover)
I am a Christian CEO in Hong Kong and have written a book review on this book for the Graduate Christian Fellowship a few months back. An excellent reference. Touched on many important and controversial issues including capitalism, bribery in third world, honesty, advertisement and marketing, etc. Presented many primary articles with balanced, provocative opinions from all sides. A book for the serious thinker. NOT FOR NEW CHRISTIAN BELIEVERS NOR FOR NON-BUSINESS PERSON. Only one criticism: the editors' own comments at the end of each chapter is a bit weak; not the same calibre as the 20-30 authors.
