5.0 out of 5 stars Ethics should be taught sooner than college!, June 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How To Do It Right (Paperback)
This ethics book is a good comprehensive read. I needed this text for my college course on business ethics. It has definitions, case examples. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a core foundation of ethical understanding.

I really believe that with all the pressure on today's kids to get good grades and "make it" in the business world, a formal ethics class should be offered starting in junior high!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory text, June 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How To Do It Right (Paperback)
This was the prescribed text for a first year course in my MBA program. The text is full of real life examples which make this a better read for such a dry topic as this.
