This review is from: Ethics on the Job: Cases and Strategies (Paperback)

The case studies in this book are relevent to the present environment in most companies today. The RESOLVEDD strategy is and ideal method to address and answer ethical questions. The authors wrote the book with the student in mind. The instructions are clear enough for a non ethics major to apply the concepts in the real world. Although I did not want to enroll in the ethics class, I have found the subject matter enlightening....I highly recommend this book to students and/or those that want to know more about the discipline of ethics.

This review is from: Ethics on the Job: Cases and Strategies (Paperback)

The comments I have regarding the text in the book: Much of the text was highlighted and there was pencil and pen in margins. The description of the book specifically said clean text. That was not accurate. I was able to read the text, but I do not consider that 'clean text'. Delivery was very fast.

This review is from: Ethics on the Job: Cases and Strategies (Paperback)

The book is a great book; it has a lot of case studies that are very in-depth and allow you to take a real-life approach to the world of ethics. However, that's pretty much all that the book has; there is not much supplemental material to it.
