I hate ethics books that just drill "do the right thing" into your head. This book has practical real-world examples to draw on. The chapters/stories are relatively short and hit the main points in that time frame. Better than the text book ethics books.
Good Foundation for Ethics Review

Hartley's "Business Ethics" is a composition of a many different case studies that may have practiced in the "grey area" of ethics. With boundaries spanning a myriad of locations depending on culture and backgrounds, ethics is a hot topic but an important topic of discussion in business. Hartley's book provides a great launching pad for ethics discussions, but some of the questions are written for a very undergraduate or high school audience. My recommendation would be to read the content, and formulate your own questions depending upon the audience with which you are working.
