"Essentials of Business Ethics" provides an introduction to business ethics. It surveys the current literature and core theories with applications to a number of contemporary issues in the field, including corporate responsibility, equal opportunities legislation, the ethics of advertising, and environmental issues. Throughout the text coverage of legal issues is provided where appropriate. The text examines the values upon which business is based with a strong emphasis upon notions of justice within a business context. Although the authors argue that business can never be value-free, no attempt is made to persuade the reader of the superiority of any particular system. Combining theory and practical examples, attention is also given to writers who have studied values 'scientifically' and claim that allegiance to values is measurable. Specific attention is paid to the ethical issues associated with globalization (for example, the conflict of values in international transactions).

I am a undergraduate degree level student (Business Studies) and used this book for the module "Business Ethics".
"Essentials of Business Ethics" is a relatively simple book and did not provide sufficient detail or depth for my final year module. It is no doubt a good book to use as a resource, and those chasing a 1st may wish to add this one to their armory. It was recommended to me for "extra" reading not as a main text, which was how I used it. It is a good resource but I recommed any student asks their tutor which book is best for them, this one may suffice, but for me it did not. Athough it was as difficult module, I struggled in the exam and suggest any student at my level considers something more detailed.

I am a Business Studies Student and brought this book for my module "Business Ethics".
"Essentials of Business Ethics" is a good book, but it really is the "Basics" of Business Ethics. I struggled in the exam and although it was hard, I feel the book did not go into enough detail. It was recommended to me as a book for "extra" reading and not really as a main text. Apparently "Corporate Responsibility. A text book." (Cannon, T.) is a good one, but don't take my word for it. For lesser courses and modules this book will do just fine, but for a final year module in which 100% of the mark was attributed to the exam it didn't quite cut it. It's by no means a long book and is less than half the size of some of my other text books. A usuful resource but for a degree module check with your module leader as to which is best.
