Essentials of Business Ethics: Creating an Organization of High Integrity and Superior Performance

The book is outstanding. I highly recommend it!!

As an author Denis Collins is a through -minded person with a fine grasp of what is important in business and in life.

Politicians and presidential candidates should read.

Denis Collins' new book - Essentials of Business Ethics -- really makes sense. The book is well written and quite comprehensive. He is an expert on the topic and the book's competence is readily apparent. Collins touches upon all the key topics in business ethics and in many cases has whole chapters dedicated to the topic. For example, his is one of the few business ethics books with entire chapters written on such topics as: hiring ethical people; ethics training; ethics reporting systems; ethical foundations of capitalism; and empowering ethical employees. Empowering ethical employees is one of my favorites because so many ethical employees do not know what to do when they observe organizational misconduct.His effective use of actual business examples provides for a strong touchstone with the real world. Whether you are reading just because you think business ethics is important, or you are a business person, or an instructor thinking about using the book in a class, I think you will find this book to be one of the most user-friendly, authoritative books on the market today. Another bonus is that if you get the book you also get access to the book's website that contains a 76 item best practices survey.This book is a winner and I strongly recommend it!

As a Engineering/Design Manager with over a decade of experience dealing with the "human" side of business, it was fantastic to finally find a book that sums up a clear roadmap for dealing with everyday ethical business issues. Dr. Collins is not only insightful in his evaluation of human nature, but also elaborates on how to motivate people to consistantly "do the right thing". Whether you are a seasoned manager looking for a fresh approach to age old issues, or a new manager about to embark on a career change, this book will be instrumental in helping you build an solid, ethical foundation for your company.
