ETHICS AND MORALS IN BUSINESS, 2nd edition

by Samuel M. Natale


Summary: This book beautifully integrates moral philosophy, ethical principles, psychological maturity, and business practice. It is built on the foundational principle that morality, ethics, and psychological maturity are deeply intertwined with success or failure in business. Thus this book does not view ethics, morals, and psychological maturity as somehow external to business practice, but rather as a necessary dimension of all business endeavor. Consequently success in business in the long run rises and falls depending on the degree to which it is moral and ethical.
