Decent, but rather uneven coverage for an intro text.
One benefit of this book is that it contains articles, commentary, and discussion questions all in one text.It also covers a wide variety of issues, which is good since business ethics is a vast subject.On the negative side, I don't think the organization of the sections is the most effective way to approach the topic.The sections are organized based on a 1991 survey of CEOs in which the participants ranked their most important types of ethical dilemmas. As a result, there isn't the logical flow or progression of ideas from chapter to chapter that one might expect from a philosophy book. Unfortunately, the pragmatic interests of CEOs are not the same as the educational needs of students who are new to business ethics.There is also no discussion of ethical theories and no direct interaction between the articles. On the whole, this book may be beneficial if used in conjunction with a survey of ethical theories and ethical decision-making, but taken by itself it makes for a rather uneven introduction to business ethics. ...

A must read for any who would invest in financial markets
Alex Berenson has done the public a huge public service with this book. He clearly and logically describes serious problems with the US Stock markets, based on corporate avarice, greed and cowardly, dishonest politicians.His sections on the creation then the gutting of the SEC are perceptive and insightful.His overview of the decline of corporate accounting standards, led by the big US accounting firms, including, of course Arthur Anderson give a clear picture of the problems and what needs to be done.
The Number
A book about accounting written by a nonaccountant.A waste of your time and money.My copy went into the trash.

Very good
Concise and crisply written. Shows in a way how the 1990s were an inevitable outcome of prior history

Process Management
This book is geared around implementing ISO along the Business Managment Approach, essentially fortelling the coming of ISO 9000:2000. A true handbook
This is a book that address comprehensively and rigourously all the auditing process. The effort and the success of David Hoyle to explain difficult concepts are very remarkable. The methodology "auditing byprocess" proposed by the author is going to be necessary with the ISO9000 year 2000 edition. The chapter "tips for auditors" show, forexample, his thorough knowledge and experience on the auditing field. Excellent book for professional auditors
In my opinion this book is excellent and very useful for professional auditors. This book is written about auditing itself, but not about implementing ISO 9000. It is not just a know-how book for auditing but itgives essence of auditing from principles of auditing and auditing processto useful information for auditors. I have noted that this book is readworld-wide from the fact that it has been already translated into Japaneseand Spanish. ... Read more
