3.0 out of 5 stars Up to Date Ethical Situations, November 1, 2000

This review is from: Business Ethics: Concepts and Cases (Paperback)

This book is very up to date on the ethics surounding business today. It thougholy explains the different theories and concepts of business ethics. I rate this book high on content, but low on context. This is a good book but is long and dry, this author repeats himself and does not always get to the point directly.

This review is from: Business Ethics: Concepts & Cases (Paperback)

Every purchaser is looking for exactly what they ordered in the condition it was listed. That is exactly what I received. I would order from this seller every time based on my experience.

4.0 out of 5 stars There can be ethics in business, June 1, 2005

By 

Quaker Annie "reader" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Business Ethics: Concepts and Cases (5th Edition) (Paperback)

This was our text book for Antioch McGregor's Business program (not MBA).

The book is good - a bit dry - but under the direction of a really good professor (which we had) it can be a great tool.

I went into the class doubting the existence of true ethics in the corporate world -- and exited realizing it is there, but there can be a price to pay to use it.

If would suggest Parker Palmer's A Hidden Wholeness to read with this -- wish I'd had both of these while I was in the corporate world.
