5827, Does the Book Talk about Business?
Posted by M2, Sun Mar-23-03 10:20 AM
Is the Author a successful Entrepreneur?

Please don't take my questions as a sign of disrespect, but it seems that the book is talking about dozens of Philosophical issues that have nothing to do with starting a profit making business.

Ethics & Morality are important, but focusing on teaching people how to plan a business that respects both will not teach them how to make money. IMO, common sense can help you with that -- for instance - there are two companies that sell rather inexpensive Pro Audio products, that I refuse to sell. I don't sell them because the power ratings are exagerated, their customer service sucks and at the end of the day, the product is crap and I don't feel comfortable presenting it as otherwise.

That being said, a philosophical book on ethics and empowerment is going to slow people down and not teach them about the hard core business tactics they need to become successful.
