4.0 out of 5 stars A little dry, but very current and interesting case studies., January 11, 2004

The actual chapter text is a little dry and sometimes confusing, but the layout is good and the case studies at the end of the chapters are VERY interesting and thought-provoking. I may not have gotten through the class with an A if not for the way the book is so well organized and clear.

This review is from: Business Ethics (Paperback)

I would have given this book 5 stars but I found that when describing the normative theories I found other internet sites gave an easier to read and understand description. The case studies were eye opening and covered just about every ethical topic one would imagine could happen in a business environment. Overall, a good resource.

This review is from: Business Ethics (Paperback)

This book has a lot of very interesting examples, theories and philosophies on how to treat people and do things in the business world. It's complete with arguments and definitions of theorists ways of thinking. If you're taking one of those types of classes or are into either of those subjects and ethics, it seems like a solid book. The cover art is deep too.
