Description
By addressing ethical environments in health care and business organizations, this book examines a new era - research in organizational ethics. This book will help decision-makers to develop and sustain organizational ethics in their firms, and to think more critically about the issues that emerge within contemporary organizations. The book develops the themes that ethics is good business; that developing and sustaining ethics relates directly to assessing ethics in organizations through research, evaluation or audit; and that decision-makers perform the role of ethical advocate in their organizations. Justice is explored as an underlying component in the development of an ethical environment. The book concludes with the role of decision-makers as ethical advocates in their organizations. Discussion is complemented by cases and examples, thereby addressing the intersection of theory and application.
