“Great textbook, with relevant cases from the real world.”
“Excellent book with proper framing and interesting analyzes in various areas/fields, with special emphasis on practical cases.”
Understanding Business Ethics has sound principles that is a good fit for an undergraduate ethics course. The companion materials also add breadth to my instruction.
This is an excellent book, well structured and clear content, whit a very practical approach on business and a lot of examples.
This text provides a comprehensive overview of Business Ethics with a firm grounding in the various ethical approaches.
I did adopt this text for 2016 - 2017 but I am not finding it what I need. I had used Johnson, C. Managing Ethical Challenges of Leadership in the past and believe that was a better fit with my course. I just requested the text by Johnson on Organizational Ethics and hope to use that in 2017 - 2018.
I am using this text this semester. It works well, but I still find that I need to supplement it with more "meaty" materials on financial, marketing, and human capital management. I have also found that the portion of Chapter 11 on global ethics was mainly geared toward social and environmental ethical issues. I needed more on corruption, bribery and negotiation with companies from different cultures.
New chapters & case studies are good additions.
