    5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - for employers or employees at ANY level!!!

    Managing Business Ethics teaches the concept of building long term growth and sustainability that benefit all stake holders’ i.e. employees, customers, community, environment, and investors. It emphasizes sustainability over short term profit, and values all stakeholders - not solely it's investors. The content is applicable for employers and employees at any level - corporate executives of multi-national organizations, college students seeking employment, or new candidates and recruits to a company.

    I refer to it regularly and began practicing some of its methods beginning in the 2nd chapter. It is practical, not theoretical. You recognize that relationships are interconnected. For example, you cannot practice ethical behavior at work, then forego ethical behavior at home - they go hand-in-hand. Ethical behavior is a way of living. This book is the single most valuable resource in my 30 year collection of business materials.

    The topic is even more relevant due to the number of scandals over the years, most recently, the corruption at Wells Fargo. The book really opens your eyes; by learning how to build a strong ethical culture, you become equally aware how to identify the weak ones. The case studies of businesses who failed and succeeded are interesting and easy to read. You know of them, now you learn how they succeeded, or why the failed, or how they turned themselves around.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013

    My review is on a text book by Linda Trevino & Katherine Nelson called "Managing Business Ethics: Straight Talk about How To Do It Right" and my topic under discussion is Corporate Social Responsibility which in a nutshell, is the involvement of organizations in the local communities in which they operate. The organization that I chose was Merck which is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world and their commitment to eradicating river blindness in parts of the world.
    My question is what are the potential costs and benefits of such an investment? As in 1978, the World Health Organization estimated that over 300 million were blind due to the disease. According to Trevino& Nelson, (pg. 349), it takes about $ 200 million in research and 12 years to bring the average drug to the market; so companies go after projects that hold the most promising returns in terms of recouping their money and also alleviating human suffering. However in this case, river blindness occurs in areas where there's abject poverty and only a small fraction of people would be able to pay for the drugs. What should the company do? Produce the drug and risk not being able to recoup its investment, or channel its resources to other "beneficial" ventures? This was an ethical dilemma for the company because according to George Merck chairman of the company in 1950, "we try never to forget that medicine is for the people. It is not for the profits" and that the profits would follow. This philosophy had been the core of Merck & Co.'s core value system. In 1978, researchers at Merck developed the drug ivermectin, which was to treat /kill parasites and worms in animals. In the course of testing this drug, they found out that this drug could kill a parasite in horses that were similar to the worm that caused river blindness in humans. Naturally, the company's scientists were eager to explore further if this medicine could be adapted for human use but, was the company willing to invest any further knowing it would never likely be a profitable product? If the company decided to go ahead and develop this product knowing that any chances of recouping any profit is zero, what are they going to tell their share holders and how are they going to justify it. They may partner with other organizations like World Health Organization and other NGOs to collaborate on this issue or unless the company decides to be philanthropic and take up the cause of helping with the eradication the disease. What if the company decides not to produce the drug because of its negative financial impact on the company? In this case the company would have turned its back on its core values of how" medicine is for the people not for profits" philosophy. Researchers put in hard effort day in and day out so being close to finding a cure for river blindness and to be told the research had to be abandoned or put on hold due to lack of profitability, would not sit well with them because it will seem the fruits of their labor has been crushed right under their noses. Definitely disgruntled researchers would go to the media and how would the media treat this kind of information? The media would definitely have a field day with the company and this will negate all the good deeds they have done in the past. Likewise if Merck decides to go ahead and produce the drug knowing very well the negative financial impact it could have on the company, the same media will hail them for their noble gesture and compassion for humanity.
    The company did the right thing by standing by its core values of "medicine is meant for the people and the profits would follow later" philosophy. They went ahead and produced the drug Mectizan (ivermectin) in collaboration with other organizations like the World Bank etc and distributed to those areas affected by the disease. In a nutshell, Merck stood by what they've believed in; and that's doing well for humanity. The authors did bring out everyday issues and how to deal with them without compromising ones ethical values.

    I did not read this by choice. I had too for a business ethics class, but it wasn't as bad a most college books. It really brings up some good ideas that a person wouldn't think up as common sense. General ethics really should be a mandatory class starting in grade school and continuing into college.
    The book is well structured, but does appear to be kind of long winded at times. It also has a tendency to repeat its self, but repetition is a great training tool. Sadly, even as new as 2010, this book already is outdated. It uses Joe Paterno and Penn State as a positive ethical example more than once.
