Business Ethics for Better Behaviour 🎧📖
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
Key Points:
✅ What started as some proactive reading of the prescribed text for this semester at Uni turned out to be very enjoyable with engaging information.
✅ Written in a similar format to Atomic Habits. Good case studies etc. I particularly liked the topics on moral grandstanding and CSR campaigns.
❌ The narrator for the audio book was horrendous. I slowed it down, increased the speed… no matter what I did, so robotic and AI sounding.

There is a lot of acedemic ethichal training informtaion in this text that can be applied in bot learning environments as well as real world organiztions. Business ethics opens a whole world of discussions that need to be accomplished but are often avaoided and we need to stop this avoidance. Highly recommended reading.
