The Ethics Of Management

by LaRue Tone Hosmer

Hosmer’s fourth edition of The Ethics of Management provides business students (future managers) with a very specific analytical process for understanding and resolving moral problems in management. A manager needs insight and understanding in a global economy to convince everyone involved, given his or her varied religious, cultural, economic and social backgrounds, to accept a proposed moral solution. Acceptance of managerial moral solutions, over time, brings trust, commitment and effort, and those three, also over time, are essential for organizational success.

Very basic/foundational book on business ethics. Good for an introduction to the topic.

[William M · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book was used in my Liberty University "Business Ethics" course. I really, really, did not like how this book was organized, or how it presented the material. The book read more like a research paper than a textbook for conveying concepts to students.

Good basics

[Shanley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Repetitious. Could really have only been 1 solid chapter with no repeats on info. Case readings make up the bulk of this book.

A good and detailed way to approach ethics.
