About this title

Synopsis

The apparent conflict between profits and ethics has never been resolved. In today's climate of the Savings & Loan scandals, insider trading, junk bonds, and hostile takeovers, business executives need to examine the link between power and responsibility. This book will prove provocative and illuminating for those who take their leadership functions seriously.

Reviews

This anthology deals with a topic receiving increasing attention in the wake of the greedy 1980s--business ethics and how to cultivate it. Writings from such luminaries as management guru Peter Drucker, former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover, and sociologist Amital Etzioni are presented with a minimum of commentary yet are usefully divided into topical areas treating important ethical issues such as "Can ethics be taught?" and "Corporate codes of ethics: are they effective?" One essayist, Alfred North Whitehead, writes, "a good society is a society in which its men of business think greatly of their functions." The essays collected in this book provide the ethical foundation to do precisely this if only enough business executives read and take these lessons to heart. Recommended for business collections.
