In such situations the line between business and pleasure blurs and the nature of relationships gets cloudy. With a thoughtless act or a less-than-tactful word, long-lasting business relationships can be ruined forever. In this environment, people often cut not just financial corners, but ethical ones, too. There's a fine line between innocent perks and inappropriate gifts or kickbacks. Event planners today must navigate a minefield of potentially sticky situations that can easily blow up in their face. Without a professional code, lines of acceptable behavior are easily crossed. And what you do personally can hurt you professionally. This book provides event planners with the companion they need to stay out of trouble, keep professional relationships healthy and profitable, avoid the riskier temptations of the lifestyle, and win business in a highly competitive market using ethical business practices.--From publisher description UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011410450-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011410450-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1205/2011410450-t.html ER -
