Editorial Reviews
“Ethical Issues in Business is clear and user-friendly yet still rigorous throughout. It offers excellent coverage of basic ethical theory, critical thinking, and many contemporary issues such as whistleblowing, corporate social responsibility, and climate change. Tittle’s approach is not to tell students what to think but rather to get them to think—and to give them the tools to do so. This is the text I would pick for a business ethics course.” — Kent Peacock, University of Lethbridge
“This is a well-constructed text. It covers important topics in business ethics with academic rigour yet succeeds in making the material accessible.” — Robert Larmer, University of New Brunswick
