"A thorough text, attractive for its currency--more discussion, narrative in approach than the worn formula of most textbooks in the field, which rely on the case study method."--William McDonald, Tennessee Wesleyan College
"A volume that teachers of business ethics should take a look at, for its focus is business ethics as a subject to teach, a field of study, and a discipline to practice."--Teaching Philosophy
"A useful resource to expand the student's thinking on some critical concepts in applied ethics."--Gerald E. Twaddell, Thomas More College
"An interesting collection of essays. I found the contributions by Bowie, Gilbert, and Solomon to really hit the mark."--Michael Prusch, Villanova University
"The article by Lynn Sharp Raine is worth the price; I will recommend the book and especially that article to my students."--John D. Bayres, Concordia College
"I have learned a great deal from this book....Deals with issues that are neglected in most business ethics texts."--David Detmer, Purdue University, Calumet
"Stands out both in its format and the range of topics covered....The contributor list (including Joanne B. Ciulla, Richard T. DeGeorge, Robbin Derry, William Frederick, R. Edward Freeman, Daniel R. Gilbert, Jr., Edwin M. Hartman, Jennifer Mills Moore, Lynn Sharp Paine and Robert C. Solomon) represents some of the best people in the field, and the reader has the opportunity to eavesdrop on their debate about issues. And that debate is what distinguishes this
series from other recent books on the topic of business ethics."--Journal of Management
"Will be an invaluable resource for both academics and practicing managers."--Choice

Each of the four sections in this volume begins with a lecture that was presented at the University of Virginia and contains invited papers on business ethics.
