Profit at Any Cost: Why Business Ethics Makes Sense

By Jerry Fleming

Jerry Fleming explains that it could happen to any company that lacks moral guideposts to point the way. With more than thirty years of management experience, he shows how tougher laws and regulations will not change unethical behavior, but commitment to moral business practices will. Fleming's essential guide, Profit at Any Cost?, details four ethical principles that can be applied to any business situation: Do not steal, do not deceive, do not covet, and treat others as you would have them treat you. It explains how businesses can work to create an environment that supports these principles and how employees can put them into practice, even when it seems to "hurt" the company initially. You will discover that when companies commit themselves to doing the right thing, the long-term dividends far outweigh any shortsighted gains that might be made from unethical practices.
