Laura Hartman's: Perspectives in Business Ethics offers a foundation in ethical thought, followed by a variety of perspectives on difficult ethical dilemmas in both the personal and professional context. This anthology encourages the reader to "critically evaluate each perspective using his or her own personal ethical theory base." Instructors who favor an interactive, discussion-oriented approach to the ethics course will appreciate the different perspectives offered by the Hartman text. This book incorporates the traditional text with definitions and explanations, and combines it with short and long cases, reprints of both traditional and innovative articles, and nontraditional materials such as song lyrics, excerpts from classical literature, and short stories. This text focuses on involving as many views as possible in ethical situations or decisions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very well done.,
This review is from: Perspectives in Business Ethics (Paperback)
The positives of this book are many. Most importantly, it is very well-organized compared to some of the other business ethics books I've read. Specifically, Hartman begins by introducing various ethical theories and strategies for ethical decision-making. She also covers ethical leadership, business and social responsibility, employee-employer relations, marketing, finance/accounting, and finally, the ethical implications of technology. By proceeding from general principles to specific cases, her approach should greatly help students acquire the tools they need to assess particular ethical dilemmas. Very nice. Her summary of each major section should greatly benefit students as well. On the negative side, the selected articles are at times a bit spotty in their coverage of a particular issue. Also, the articles tend to focus on very specific situations (e.g. the Enron debacle) instead of more general ones (e.g. "do businesses have social obligations to their consumers which affect the content and strategy of their marketing efforts?"). While this is fine as far as it goes, it would have been more consonant with Hartman's overall approach for her to include a few articles which address these "big picture" sorts of questions. All in all, this is a very beneficial text for an introductory course in business ethics. I recommend it to students and teachers alike.

Business Ethics was never so interesting,
By
This review is from: Perspectives in Business Ethics (Paperback)
Perspectives in Business Ethics gives a good combination of the principles involved and the practical application of those principles. The firms that are used as case studies are very timely. Most people will recognize the firms and the issues that the firms are dealing with. This was a good text to study a very sensitive subject and the references make sure that the reader can do additional research.
