“Ethical dilemmas are part of the natural terrain in business, yet it is often hard to figure out a path from ethical theory to those practical realities. This Field Guide does that, starting from common ethical challenges that arise in business and then providing guidance based on examples and ethical theory.”
Joshua Margolis
Harvard Business School, Professor of Business Administration
“A compendium of remarkable, real-life dilemmas that force readers to think and decide. World-class authors from both academe and the C-suite make this book a must-read.”
Tom Donaldson
Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Professor in Ethics and Law
“This book is FANTASTIC! I love it. I want to use it in my MBA class. It offers a unique approach to discussing ethical dilemmas with students. The questions following each case highlight the nuances in ethical decision-making and Bill’s commentary adds a dimension of realism in the cases that students will appreciate.”
Tara Ceranic Salinas
Associate Professor of Business Ethics, University of San Diego
