HEMET, Calif., April 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In the wake of the Enron and WorldCom scandals, FBI cover ups and a general climate of unethical corporate behavior in the United States, Billie R. Marcum brings us This is About Ethics (now available through 1stBooks Library).
The book provides detailed views of the corporate world, the editorial pressures abounding in print media, the movie industry and its sense (or lack thereof) of civic responsibility and the worker training world. Marcum is particularly interested in helping students and workers find their untapped potential.
The underlying theme throughout is the importance of ethics in all types of business dealings, in basic human relations and in leadership. Marcum shares with readers her lifelong observations and the experiences that led to her personal philosophy.
While students can gain a lot from Ethics, it's really for anyone searching for their true identity. It's for people seeking to maximize their potential as a human being. It's for those who need a reminder about what's truly important in life.
Billie R. Marcum is a retired quality manager and human rights advocate. She has seen her work published in journals and was the first woman registered as a professional engineer in quality. She has presented papers at American Society for Quality (ASQ) events, and was recognized by the state of California for her efforts in helping design the state's exam for professional engineer registration. She received her bachelor's degree in business from the University of Redlands in California and her master's degree in systems management from the University of Southern California. She is an ASQ fellow, a certified quality engineer and a fellow in the Institute for the Advancement of Engineering.
"It needed to be said, and I had to say it," she says of her book. This is About Ethics is Marcum's first book.
