An Important Book
Don't be put off by the title, the bland cover, or that it's part of a series in business ethics. This is a terrific and provocative book! Frederick offers a compelling framework for understanding the conflicts among the values centered on the essential economizing function of business; ecology; and the inherent power-aggrandizement of the corporation. The thesis...

A self-important piece of junk!
Without a doubt, one of the worst textbooks I have ever read. His style of writing reeks of self-importance. I guess he's trying to impress us with his intelligence. I am required to read this as part of an MBA program. While I fully support a discussion of values as part of an MBA program, this book has absolutely no relevance to today's business world, and...

An Important Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation (Ruffin Series in Business Ethics) (Paperback)
Don't be put off by the title, the bland cover, or that it's part of a series in business ethics. This is a terrific and provocative book! Frederick offers a compelling framework for understanding the conflicts among the values centered on the essential economizing function of business; ecology; and the inherent power-aggrandizement of the corporation. The thesis presented here challanges both anti-business environmental elites as well as corporate apologists.

This review is from: Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation (Ruffin Series in Business Ethics) (Paperback)
Without a doubt, one of the worst textbooks I have ever read. His style of writing reeks of self-importance. I guess he's trying to impress us with his intelligence. I am required to read this as part of an MBA program. While I fully support a discussion of values as part of an MBA program, this book has absolutely no relevance to today's business world, and universities that choose this as part of the cirriculum are doing their students a dis-service.

Ground-breaking, excellent read,
This review is from: Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation (Ruffin Series in Business Ethics) (Paperback)
Dr. Frederick provides an excellent, well-crafted view of values within a business-government-society context that is ground-breaking and thoughtful. An excellent read for college students, business managers, and the general public.

A valiant attempt to use sociobiology to analyze business,
By Charles Palson (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation (Hardcover)
The author has attempted to use concepts from sociobiology to provide a way to evaluate business ethics and practice. It is badly flawed because he does not understand some of the basic sociobiological principles he needs to accomplish his goal.
