Stout cover a wide array of essential topics including the legal status of corporations, major ethical traps in modern business, negotiations, whistleblowing and liability, and best practices. Written in a short question-and-answer style, this resource provides engaging and readable introductions to the basic principles of business ethics, and an invaluable guide for dealing with ethical dilemmas.

Recenzii

Nelson and Stout have written a readable and eminently usable book that answers the questions that real business people—whether they are organizational leaders or middle managers or entry employees—wonder and even worry about. What's more, their answers are informed and supported by research but presented in a directly applicable manner. Most importantly, their responses are in themselves 'tools' and 'scripts' for those of us who want to behave in accordance with our best values. And the research presented here clarifies that this is most of us.
This is a well-written book for anyone interested in corporations and their conduct. It's an excellent resource for students and faculty.
When two prominent legal scholars put their personal stamp on the issue now galvanizing the planet, how ethics fits in with modern business, it is time to pay attention.
What do we owe—if anything—to those we do business with? Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know provides pragmatic answers to tough questions, drawing on legal requirements, professional standards, and classical philosophy. It should be your go-to-guide, especially in these rapidly changing and often competitive times.
This book by J. Nelson and L. Stout exhibits several virtues. First, it is accessible even to those not yet acquainted with the subject matter. It is disgraceful that intellectuals writing on business ethics tend to adopt a language that lay intelligent people cannot follow. Second, the book does not defend, in a aprioristic manner, one position over others. Rather, it clarifies pros and cons of the main theses on the subject in a balanced and fair way. Finally, this book comes out at a time characterized by the emergence of problems such as environmental degradation, pandemics, the explosion of income and wealth inequalities, problems that cannot be solved without the active intervention of businesses. Whence the great relevance of an ethical approach capable of directing their behaviour toward the common good.
This book contains extremely useful, science-based guidance as to how we can act more ethically and effectively influence others in our organizations to do the same.
This comprehensive and accessible book, brings to the table everything one needs to know about business ethics. It addresses all the major questions and reviews in a highly clear way the relevant legal and management literatures. A fantastic achievement for Prof. J.S. Nelson and the late Prof. Lynn Stout.
This is a wonderful book that finally provides comprehensive guidance on how to understand and respond to business ethics challenges today. The current state of business ethics is placed firmly in historical context, and the writing is sharp and free of the jargon that dominates this field.
An invaluable resource concerning business ethics. The chapters on compliance systems are particularly useful.
The book focusses on what are the most important concepts and tools for businesspeople and compliance professionals to comprehend well. It address what to do, how to do it and why to do it. It is an excellent book and important not only for businesspeople and students, but for Compliance Professionals: We see them all the time stuck in legal and paper-program issues. They more than all others should read it (and will love it).
Business Ethics is a timely yet evergreen resource for students and business leaders. Nelson and Stout bring together decades of academic research and literature in this clear and practical guide on ethical behavior and dilemmas in modern business.
There is no doubt in my mind that this information will be useful to students and business people and that it is not discussed enough.
An outstanding introduction to business ethics, including individual ethical decision making, leading ethical organizations, and the related legal issues. Each chapter covers an essential topic in business ethics and is organized around the key questions for that topic. This user-friendly format is valuable for the first-time reader and for returning to the book for advice in the future. This introduction to business ethics should be of value to everyone from business students to corporate leaders. The reader will become fully informed on the key managerial and legal issues related to ethics, compliance, and corporate social responsibility.
