Managing for Ethical–Organizational Integrity

It was once believed that business and ethics constituted separate and

mutually exclusive realms. Businesses that perpetuate such a belief or still

hold that “business ethics” is an oxymoron are at risk.

If you are a manager, you may have been called on to actively promote

ethical-organizational integrity. But this means understanding the defining

principles of and creating an organizational culture that measurably

encourages ethical conduct. This book will help provide you and other

managers with much needed guidelines for ethical decision making in

business that are philosophically sound and strategically advantageous.

This book provides a brief introduction to and general framework for

managing for ethical-organizational integrity in a way that will enable you

to identify those ethical duties that must be fulfilled in order to morally

justify the pursuit of profit. It will help you develop a morally imaginative

and socially entrepreneurial decision making process that is driven

towards generating and sustaining social value.
