Ethical principles for decision makers: A longitudinal survey [Book Review]
Journal of Business Ethics 8 (4):271 - 278 (1989)
Abstract
This paper is based on a five-year study of the ethical principles considered by executives, middle managers, and students as appropriate guidelines for making decisions. Out of the fourteen principles surveyed, nine seem to be standards that can be applied with no further thought or research required by the decision maker. The other six principles may suggest decisions makers need clearer guidelines as to what to do or what not to do when faced with an ethical dilemma that exists outside defined systems of corporate ethics.My notes
