1 Simply the best book on How To Do It Right.
I have searched for many years for a book that outlines the very techniques and recommendations I found in this book. In fact, I thought I might have to write such a book myself until I stumbled onto Linda Trevino and Katherine Nelson's work. I strongly recommend this to any executive or employee trying to deal with organizational ethics. The book contains practical recommendations for dealing with ethics at all levels of a company.

2 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.

3 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.

4 Don't waste your time or $
I don't think the authors have ever worked. The book seems very fluffy and theoretical. Look elsewhere for a practical ethics resource.

5 Not realistic
the author lives in a dream world and is not in touch with the business work environment of today. Her advice is old-fashioned and out-of-date. Many better textbooks on Ethics available.

6 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!

7 One of the references to this field
This book covers all aspects concerning business ethics in a densely written volume (338 pages of quite small print). After an introduction, the topic is covered from the point of view of the individual, the manager and the organization. It discusses the effect of legislation, reward systems, how to set up an ethics program, etc. These different sections basically stand alone, so you can go straight to the section you need. You get a pragmatic approach, it is "all a manager in a US company should know about ethics" and packed with concrete examples (the 1999 edition added some new recent examples). Or: "when in doubt, read the book and you'll know what to do."

It is clearly written as a educational volume, for instance chapters ends with cases and discussion questions.

As inconveniences I would say it is very biased towards the USA (it's packed with references to US law), even if it contains a chapter on global business. Also, the text is quite prescriptive and I lacked some philosophical depth. If you live outside the US, some explanations and examples are too simplistic and not relevant (for instance, to a Belgian it's quite surprising that this book says that you should not write a recommendation letter on your company's letterhead). Therefor, I recommend "Baradacco's "Defining Moments" (1997) as complementary reading. Given its educational aim, I think its price is too high as well.

That said, if you need a pragmatic book on this topic, this is the place to look.

8 Good utilization of case material but almost too elementary.
While I found the cases illustrated in the book to provide excellent examples of ethical issues involving modern day businesses, I thought it was written at a very low reading level. The chapter readings were repetative and patronizing. Definately not the required reading that I thought an MBA program would/should utilize (as in the case of my University and the required reading for the core business ethics course).

Perhaps this book would be more useful to someone with little or no business background.

	Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do,

and how to be, I learned in kindergarten.  Wisdom was not at the top of the

graduate school mountain but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

	These are the things I learned:  Share everything.  Play fair.  Don't

hit people.  Put things back where you found them.  Clean up your own mess.

Don't take things that aren't yours.   Say you're sorry when you hurt someone.

Wash your hands before you eat.  Flush.  Warm cookies and cold milk are good

for you.  Live a balanced life.  Learn some and think some and draw and paint

and sing and dance and play and work some every day.

	Take a nap every afternoon.  When you go out into the world, watch for

traffic, hold hands, and stick together.  Be aware of wonder.  Remember the

little seed in the plastic cup.   The roots go down and the plant goes up and

nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.  Goldfish and

hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup -- they all

die.  So do we.

	And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you

learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK.  Everything you need to know is in

there somewhere.  The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation.  Ecology and

politics and sane living.

	Think of what a better world it would be if we all -- the whole world

-- had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with

our blankets for a nap.  Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other

nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own

messes.  And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into

the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.

		   in kindergarten"





Ninety percent of the time things turn out worse than you thought they would.

The other ten percent of the time you had no right to expect that much.
