Review:

"It (Case Studies in Business, Society, and Ethics) is a good book with a sound approach and it has been well received by students." ― Norman Hawker, Western Michigan State University

"This is an exceedingly useful book. The cases ate more fully developed than is typical and are very well designed to bring the underlying normative issues into focus. In my judgment, it is the best business ethics casebook currently available." ― John Hasnas, George Mason University

"I don't think there is another book that does chart case studies as effectively as the Beauchamp book... they don't offer the range of cases and the brevity that Beauchamp provides." ― Jonathon P. West, University of Miami

"The advantage of Beauchamp's case studies is that they cover broader topics than those included in public relations case-study books; the cases refer to the larger scope of management, not just the specialized field of public relations." ― Otto Lerbinger, Boston University

"The length, detail, and complexity of the cases arc generally excellent, and the author has done well here to avoid either superficial treatment found in some texts but also the excessive and often-overcomplicated cases found in others." ― Keith Robinson, Grand Valley State University

"I like the scope of topics covered in the Beauchamp text." ― Harvey James, University of Hartford

"The book is good because it covers a wide range of students. I have used the book for a core course in our MBA program. but it contains enough appropriate information for an undergraduate course." ― George P. Generas, Jr., University of Hartford

"I like the book... Its central attraction for me is tire large number of short-to-medium-length cases. I am also attracted to the high quality of cases... I respect the author's research skills and attention to accuracy... Ideas are presented clearly and at a level that is goad for the undergraduates I teach." ― John S. Steiner, California State University, Los Angeles

"I have used this book successfully in both undergraduate and master's level courses on business ethics. The text covers basic topics in a solid fashion." ― Keith W. Krasemann, College of DuPage
