 You bailed me out! May 7, 2009
Randylynn A. Barron-h (Pullman, WA USA)
After one failed attempt with another bookseller Amazon.com bailed me out just in time for the beginning of class. This textbook was exactly what the instructor ordered us to read. It came fast and in excellent condition, although I paid more; but it was well worth it!
 Good introduction to business ethics January 10, 2003
Intrepidpariah (Houston, TX)
Excellent text for discussing intermediate level business ethics dilemmas and providing a perspective from which to base arguments for or against a position.
 A mixed bag. Perhaps too focused for an introduction. June 22, 2005

One of the best features of this book is that the introductory chapter argues for the importance of business ethics, and that good ethics is good business. Also, Weiss provides very direct, concrete questions and directives when discussing ethical decision-making. On the negative side, there are no readings. However, simulated case studies are presented, which is helpful. A more serious shortcoming, I think, is that there is precious little discussion of ethical theories in the book. On my view, obtaining at least a general understanding of the more prominent approaches to ethics (e.g. utilitarianism, virtue theory, ethical egoism, moral relativism, etc.) is an essential aspect of any course on business ethics, and a text should reflect this. Finally, the specificity of his approach (i.e. the stakeholder and issues management approach) may put off those who are looking for a broader approach to business ethics. This book may be helpful if used in conjunction with a survey of ethical theory, but it is uneven as a stand-alone text.
 A horrible bore that could be condensed to a pamphlet December 23, 2009
Peter A. Taylor (Houston, TX USA)
I'm currently trying to battle through reading this book for my Business Ethics class at AJU. For one, the main meat of the book is only about 250-300 pages, the rest are case studies. The case studies are interesting and thought provoking; the actual text is very lacking in substance. I'm a compulsive highlighter, and in many quality textbooks I highlight 25% of a page of actually useful information--this textbook I find maybe one line every other page that is worthy of noting. The rest is garbage. I'm finding the Stakeholder & Issues Management Approach itself could be explained in a few concise pages. This book could really use more interesting concepts, or be replaced with more case studies.
