Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Business, Government and Society", by Steiner and Steiner, was one of the very first books in this course area and has benefited greatly from the reputation of its authors. George Steiner, the father in this father-and-son team, is one of the pioneers in the field. The text includes coverage of all the distinct content areas and is known for its inclusion of historical background. Each chapter has three elements: a beginning story to illustrate central themes; explanatory text; and a case study inviting debate about events related to the subject area. One of the most complete on the market, the 10th Edition of "Business, Government and Society" not only covers the stakeholder theory, but also covers a total of four theoretical models for analyzing the actions and duties of corporations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat deceptive, June 29, 2009
By Ady Lane "Ady Lane" (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
Seller indicated this was a brand new book, which was untrue. There was clear evidnece (writing, highlighting, the name and address of the former owner inside the cover) that it had been used. Book is in good condition, but is NOT new.
