Comment(s): "The development of values-based leaders has become a priority goal, if not a mandate, for institutions of higher education. This is particularly true for schools of business that are accredited by AACSB International. It is refreshing to know that there is finally a book on the market that will enable business-school professors to integrate multiple dimensions of ethics into their course content to achieve this goal." -- Dr. Willie E. Hopkins, Dean, School of Business and Technology, University of Maryland Eastern Shore
"This volume brings together today's best thinking on the frontier between academic business ethicists and the real-world practitioners who face the actual task of implementing corporate ethics and compliance programs. It does an admirable job of connecting theory to practice and constitutes a real advance in the field." -- Robert Kolb, Assistant Dean for Business and Society, Leeds School of Business, University of Colorado
