One benefit of this book is that it contains articles, commentary, and discussion questions all in one text. It also covers a wide variety of issues, which is good since business ethics is a vast subject. On the negative side, I don't think the organization of the sections is the most effective way to approach the topic. The sections are organized based on a 1991 survey of CEOs in which the participants ranked their most important types of ethical dilemmas. As a result, there isn't the logical flow or progression of ideas from chapter to chapter that one might expect from a philosophy book. Unfortunately, the pragmatic interests of CEOs are not the same as the educational needs of students who are new to business ethics. There is also no discussion of ethical theories and no direct interaction between the articles. On the whole, this book may be beneficial if used in conjunction with a survey of ethical theories and ethical decision-making, but taken by itself it makes for a rather uneven introduction to business ethics.

This was not the latest edition of the book which caused issues when doing assigned readings and homework. Not very happy.

The textbook arrived quickly and it was what I had ordered, though it had some minor ink smudges on a few pages here and there.

Just what I needed for my Business Ethics course. This book is actually up-to-date with the times we live in and very insightful on ethics in our everyday business dealings.

Bought this book for an ethics class I am taking this semester. Is more of a personal read than a 'textbook' read, which is nice for a change. Like the way each unit is broken up into mini-readings - makes it easy to plan for 3-5 readings a day and stop instead of getting into the middle of a long chapter and forgetting where you left off.

This is a pretty good text book. It offers several real world senarios in every chapter. I find those to be very helpful when looking at ethical issues.

This was the easiest and quickest way to get my textbook. It was the correct edition - therefore
I will use the service again.

The book was received very fast and was in the stated condition. Very pleased.

I ordered this ethics book from nomatch, and when it finally got here i was stamped on the front and back...NOT FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES. I think he knew this before he sent it.
