 The problem is....Oct 15, 2010
By DMF albatross
Overall, the content is academic. There is little anyone can do to make certain subjects easier to swallow. So, on that topic, it is what it is. However, I expect a new edition to be out soon due the vast amount of errors in the quality of the publication. Whoever edited this text needs to go back and do it right. A good portion of the cases are not on the pages indicated in the index, or the table of contents! Because of this disorganization, the effort to utilize the text, as by its content features, is time consuming and unprofessional. There are numerous grammatical and spelling issues as there are in any other text. I would wait for a better organized edition to become available. As far as content value, it is a $40 book at best, which would cover the value of the cases!

 Food For Thought In A Challenging WorldSep 22, 2009
By P. McCutchen
"Business Ethics: Ethical Decision Making and Cases" is designed to provide a framework for ethical decision-making in today's dynamic and often ethically-challenged marketplace. It does this effectively by offering up "what-if" ethically challenging scenarios that give you the opportunity to think through and/or discuss them. There are numerous real-world examples and case-studies backing up the authors' viewpoints on socially-responsible ethics. While one may or may not agree with their viewpoints, the potential impact to business operations of poor ethical decision-making is well-documented.
The book offers up methods and best-practices for implementing an ethics program for businesses that can, perhaps, serve as a foundational touch-stone for firms who wish to conduct business in a socially responsible fashion that serves the needs of primary stake holders and customers alike. That these practices may contribute to sound business profitability as well as to global economic and social well-being is welcoming.
Perhaps a minor fault of the book is the repetition of some of the same case study points throughout that are used to support some socially-responsible or ethical point of view. The redundancy becomes a little wearing. Further, in real-world applications, some social initiatives may be somewhat at odds with conservative principles of sound financial and business management under some circumstances and/or conditions.
I believe anyone who desires some very good information on the value of having a strong ethically and socially-responsible business operation will benefit from reading this book. However, I also believe that one must be willing to "walk the talk" from the top leadership of an organization to the bottom. Without sincere buy-in to the highest ethical and moral principles in a consistent manner, no business can make claim to such principles and maintain its credibility.

 Badly WrittenOct 28, 2009
By L. Goldstein
The book is a rambling mess - odd bits of US law, history of the ethics consulting industry, bits of sociology and management theory. It does NOT teach how to contemplate an ethical dilemma and reach your own ethical decision. And isn't that the point?

poorly writtenFeb 15, 2008
By smellyfiend
"smellyfiend"
examples in book often have little to do with the subject matter; book couldn't be more boring if it tried.
