CHOICE Review

Covering a wide range of material, this business ethics volume employs a philosophical approach rather than the usual managerial perspective of business and society texts. The work is organized around five major topical groups; for each group there is a brief introduction as well as a selection of readings and cases written by many authors. Following theoretical work on ethical reasoning are actual business cases that call for such reasoning. Contributions included range from early Western philosophers (Adam Smith, Kant) to recent economics/business thinkers (Sen, Simon). Contributors represent the fields of law, public policy, women's studies, sociology, journalism, and consulting. The large and varied amount of material would seem to make it ideal as a reference work for faculty of various disciplines who address business ethics. However, the lack of an index makes it much less useful. The material is intellectually challenging--not an easy read without a good background in philosophy and economics. The choice of cases is appropriate, although there are no updates for older cases. This new edition incorporates new cases and readings as well as international material. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate through faculty audiences. F. Reitman Pace University
