Critical Issues in Business Conduct
Editorial Reviews
Review
“Manley and Shrode (Florida State University) examine contemporary ethical and legal issues challenging 1990s business management. Their study is based on a research project involving 276 American business firms. Topics discussed include employer-employee rights, substance abuse, AIDS, harassment, discrimination, product and workplace safety, consumer protection, product quality, marketing advertising, computer-based information systems, insider trading, fair competition, antitrust, international business practices, and financial reporting. Factual evidence, as well as the experiences and beliefs of the executives who participated in the study, forms the nucleus of the work. The chapters are comprehensive, exploring the need to protect the business as well as the rights of employees, customers, and society. Each unit contains a brief introduction, and in-depth discussion of the issue, the most recent case law, a set of guidelines to assist a firm in developing managerial policies, a summary, and citations. The volume concludes with a bibliography and index. A reference item that should be in every business library and available to every business executive.”–
“Executives and managers will find Walter Manley's Critical Issues in Business Conduct an essential desktop reference providing facts on the legal, ethical and social issues which affect employers, employees, and business transactions. From preventing workplace harassment charges to considering worker and consumer safety, this is an important coverage for businesses of all sizes.”–
