Abstract

Business Ethics: An Ethical Decision-Making Approach presents a practical decision-making framework to aid in the identification, understanding, and resolution of complex ethical dilemmas in the workplace.
• Focuses exclusively on three basic aspects of ethical decision making and behavior—how it actually takes place, how it should take place, and how it can be improved
• Uses real-life examples of moral temptations and personal ethical dilemmas faced by employees and managers
• Discusses the biases, psychological tendencies, moral rationalizations, and impact of self-interest as impediments to proper ethical decision making
• Includes relevant examples of ethical misconduct and scandals appearing in the news media
