The Ethics of Management

by LaRue Tone Hosmer

It is often said that ethics is essential for leadership; Hosmer argues that leadership is also essential for ethics. The theme of The Ethics of Management, 7e, is that business firms today operate in a competitively- intense, technologically-complex and culturally-diverse global economy. Pressures to dodge issues and cut corners are greater than ever before. The Ethics of Management provides a very explicit three-part framework to analyze those problems by combining economic outcomes, legal requirements and ethical principles. Students will learn how to convincingly present their moral points of view to others in order to jointly serve their companies, protect their careers, and improve their societies.

Reviews

[Jason Smith]

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

[William M]

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]

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

[Mary]

A good and detailed way to approach ethics.
