Review:
After having reviewed many textbooks to use in my course instruction, Jennings' style, content, and organization are very attractive. As business ethics has become a pervasive theme in course work, it is certainly helpful to encounter little snippets or even longer profiles of ethical dilemmas that are of current interest.
The Business Strategy feature contains some really interesting material for thought and discussion. I like the fact that this book forces the student to constantly think about the business ramifications of law.
