Episode 57 – Business Ethics, Verizon-Yahoo Acquisition

We're back to our usual format this week, with a News Roundup, Question of the Week, and a third topic, as well as a Weekly Pick. In our News Roundup, we cover what's been happening with Nintendo's share price recently, this week's reports about Apple devices due in the fall, and the acquisition of Jet.com by Wal-Mart. Our Question of the Week this week is a little unusual in that it's focused on a new book of which Aaron is a co-author, on the subject of business ethics. We talk about the book but also about ethics in business more generally, and some tech-specific examples, as well as discussing why we should be ethical in the first place. Our third topic is the recently announced acquisition of the core Yahoo internet business by Verizon, which had previously acquired AOL. This week's Weekly Pick is a movie recommendation from Jan. As always, you can find relevant links and other ways to listen to the podcast on the website at podcast.beyonddevic.es.
