With a refreshing lack of condescension, this well-written
guide delves thoughtfully into problems that business people have to struggle
with every day. Ethical dilemmas can appear as harmless as deciding whether or
not to credit a colleague for an idea; or they can intrude so dramatically on
business that they exert a major impact for good or bad on the bottom
line. Seglin, a columnist for the Sunday New York Times business section
as well as a former fellow at Harvard's Center
for the Study of Values in Public Life, lays out a number of provocative yet
typical Catch-22s in business. He also offers sensible suggestions for
navigating the crosscurrents of competing motivations and goals, and for making
a good decision when there is no one "right" answer.
