Customer Reviews

Almost useless.
In pursuit of a Bachelors of Information Technology, Network Administration concentration, I am currently working on my Associates of Arts in Business Administration, Information Systems concentration and, through the university, received an electronic copy of this book as part of the course materials for my second class, Business Ethics (BUS207). Like most college students, we have to write APA-format papers for our assignments. This is good, because it teaches us to support findings with citations of research that helps reinforce a point being made in the paper. This also helps in reading other material because this habit leads the reader to look for similar citations of research to support the claims of the author. In my last text book, there were plenty of footnotes to explain from where the facts came. Concepts to the reader unfamiliar with the subject were properly introduced and fully explained. I can say that in the case of this book, neither of these were the case. For example, in one of my units, we are discussing bribery and the word 'bribe' only appears one time in the entire book. Many statistics are given without citing who did the research, how they did it, with whom, or when (such as the statistic that up to 7 hours per week on the clock are used by employees not doing anything productive). We have no reason to doubt Mr. Goree, but this example is not given in an empirical way such that the underlying premise is not easily challenged. This book is filled with useless worksheet pages instead of an in-depth discussion that elaborates on many of the broad generalizations made in the book. Many issues are not discussed from an International viewpoint (i.e., affirmative action, or so-called "reverse discrimination"). The biggest issue with this book are that too many subjective viewpoints are presented as universal truths. Many of the axioms presented in this book are easily questioned under light duress. Your school may tell you to rely on this book for writing and turning in papers, but I'm warning you to please use your library and work with other books to make stronger cases in your papers about workplace ethics. This book will leave you coming up short.

Ethics in the Workplace
Book arrived in great shape and on time - just as promised. This book was easy to read and very detailed. It offered many scenarios with possible options for ethical behaviors in the workplace. Great read.
