Textbooks

Books required for this course include:

1. There’s No Such Things as “Business” Ethics by John Maxwell; ISBN 978-0-446-53229-7

2.  Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson and Kenneth H. Blanchard; ISBN 978-0-399-14446-2

Many libraries have these books or they can be found at most booksellers. Amazon has both new and used copies of both. I know many of you have jobs and may have a commute.  The two books are available in audio format and that may help save you time.  They may cost more in that format, though.
