Book Review: For Business Ethics by Campbell Jones, Martin Parker, Rene ten Bos
For Business Ethics
For Business Ethics is a daring adventure into the world of business ethics. It offers a clear and accessible introduction to business ethics and also expands business ethics beyond its current narrow confines. It is ground-breaking in the sense that it invites a distinctively critical approach to business ethics, an approach that the authors argue is part and parcel of ethics. With a thought-provoking glossary and recommendations for further readings, For Business Ethics is an essential purchase for students and practitioners alike. It is at once an introduction to business ethics and a challenge to anyone who wishes to take part in or change contemporary organized society.

Description : In A Capitalist Economy, The Holy Grail Of Business Is A Sustainable Competitive Advantage, Which Is Defined By Michael Porter, A Harvard Business School Professor, As Follows: Sustainable Competitive Advantage (Sca) Exists When A Company Makes Economic Rents, That Is, Their Earnings Exceed Their Costs, Especially Including Cost Of Capital. That Means That Normal Competitive Pressures Are Not Able To Drive Down The Firm S Earnings To The Point Where They Cover All Costs And Just Provide Minimum Sufficient Additional Return To Keep Capital Invested. Most Forms Of Competitive Advantage Cannot Be Sustained For Any Length Of Time Because The Promise Of Economic Rents Drives Competitors To Duplicate The Competitive Advantage Held By Any One Firm. The Key To Sustainable Competitive Advantage Is Differentiation. You Must Offer Your Customer A Difference That Is Both Recognizable By And Valuable To That Customer. However, It Is Not Sufficient To Merely Offer Your Difference In Products Or Services, Because In Today S Environment, Those Differences Will Be Copied By Your Competitors Within One Or Two Years. In Order For Your Competitive Advantage To Be Sustainable, You Must Develop And Maintain A Unique, Customer-Focused, Business Model. Mission-Based Alignment Is A Step-By-Step Process For Developing And Maintaining This Unique And Uncopiable Business Model. Properly Developed And Maintained, This New Business Model Will Lead To Sustainable Competitive Advantage....
