Ethics First – Out to Lunch – It’s New Orleans

Everybody knows right from wrong. Everybody knows numbers don’t lie. And nobody wants to spend time in prison. Why, then, would a person lie about corporate profits knowing there’s a high probability they’re going to get caught and end up behind bars?

Peter’s guest on Out to Lunch wrote the book on business ethics, and it’s not theoretical.
