    Trade Review

    "In business as in life there is no ethics-free zone, and students will look for guidance in steering their course through the many challenges awaiting them. This book prepares them well by laying a solid foundation in ethical theory with only a minimum of technical terminology, but with numerous cases and thought experiments for ethical decision-making that stimulate students’ moral imagination to develop their own pathways towards solutions they can ethically justify."

    Gerhold K. Becker, Founding Director, Centre for Applied Ethics, Hong Kong Baptist University

    "Gandhi once pointed out that commerce without morality is a social sin. In this excellent book, Roman Meinhold has provided practical ethical guidelines not just only for business students but also entrepreneurs and professionals. It is an invaluable asset for our future commercial society."

    Warayuth Sriwarakuel, Vice President for Research, Assumption University of Thailand

    Business Ethics and Sustainability is an incredibly valuable asset for any businessperson, young or experienced, to challenge old norms about business ethics and profitability working against each other and hopefully it will allow more people to understand that these two concepts can in fact work harmoniously hand-in-hand."

    Quincy Yu, Senior Vice President, Tycoon Music Co. Ltd.

    "The book is a highly recommended useful tool for current students and future global leaders."

    Khothatso Tšooana, Principal Secretary Ministry of Health, Lesotho; former Commissioner of Police, Lesotho Mounted Police Service, Lesotho
