Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How To Do It Right

By Katherine A. Nelson and Linda K. Trevino

Book Overview

While most business ethics texts focus exclusively on individual decision making (what should an individual do) this resource presents the whole business ethics story. Highly realistic, readable, and down-to-earth, it moves from the individual to the managerial to the organizational level, focusing on business ethics in an organisational context to promote an understanding of complex influences on behavior. The new Fifth Edition is the perfect text for students entering the workplace, those seeking to become professionals in training, communications, compliance, in addition to chief ethics officers, corporate counsel, heads of human resources, and senior executives.

Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk About How To Do It Right

Excellent book! Breaks things down very differently from other Business Ethics text books. Easy to find information and it is well written and presented. A must read for anyone wanting to learn about Business Ethics!

Great book, practical, realistic.

Great book, practical, realistic. Easy to read, once you start you don't want to stop, it provides a lot of information about ethics in business, and how companies are affected by how they handle ethical matters.

Outstanding Business Ethics Resource

I have long thought other books focused too much on philosophy or large scale ethics problems at corporations. This book gives everyone advice and practical tools to deal with ethics at all levels in a company. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to find out how to apply ethics in their organization.

Essentials on Business Ethics

This should be mandatory reading for business leaders today. It is one of the leading college textbooks on the subject and for good reason--the stories are incredible. Having worked at Scott Paper Compnay during the Al Dunlap regime, I know that the stories may be hard to believe but are true.The chapters do a good job of building on each other and the writing style is readable.Glad to have the next edition published.

A practical approach to ethics!

This is my favourite book about ethics! The examples are down-to-earth and the theories are presented in a way that makes it easier to grasp and bring into classrooms!
