Editorial Reviews

Review

I feel that one of the strong points of this book is the discussion focusing on current topics such as the terrorist attacks (9/11), Iraq war, etc. The book is easy to read and follow. It is not burdened with excessively difficult technical terms and jargons. Several current examples of business situations and short ethics vignettes make it interesting to stimulate classroom discussion amongst the students.

Weiss combines philosophy and real world examples and stories to provide students with a concise, yet complete overview of business ethics.
