This review is from: Business Ethics: Ethical Decision Making and Cases (Paperback)

examples in book often have little to do with the subject matter; book couldn't be more boring if it tried.

Overall, the content is academic. There is little anyone can do to make certain subjects easier to swallow. So, on that topic, it is what it is. However, I expect a new edition to be out soon due the vast amount of errors in the quality of the publication. Whoever edited this text needs to go back and do it right. A good portion of the cases are not on the pages indicated in the index, or the table of contents! Because of this disorganization, the effort to utilize the text, as by its content features, is time consuming and unprofessional. There are numerous grammatical and spelling issues as there are in any other text. I would wait for a better organized edition to become available. As far as content value, it is a $40 book at best, which would cover the value of the cases!

This is a good book that is full of great information...I only have one problem with it and that is...The print is too small. For all the reading that has to be done your eyes will be crossed...but other than that, it is great!!!
