“In a fresh approach to stakeholder analysis, Bowie and Werhane articulately and persuasively hone in on the unique ethical obligations that guide manager-level decision-making. <i>Management Ethics</i> delineates the competing pressures on managers and provides them not only with insights but actual processes for ensuring accountability for their decisions.” <i>Laura Hartman, DePaul University</i><br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>“Management Ethics is up-to-date, wide-ranging, and extremely well-informed. Written from a Kantian stakeholder perspective, it presents an excellent account of the fundamentals of management ethics.” <i>George Brenkert, Georgetown University</i><br /> </p> <p><br /> </p> <p>“Bowie and Werhane combine their diverse experiences and knowledge to provide an excellent primer in management ethics. They present the basics of managers’ ethics and corporate social responsibility in a clear and compelling narrative chock-full of cogent examples and core concepts.” <i>Thomas Dunfee, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania</i></p>
