This book examines issues relating to ethical decision-making in the managerial context. Author Joseph Gilbert lays the groundwork for discussion by delving into the meaning of ethics and its philosophical foundations, then exploring its application to the task of management. This balanced approach both makes clear the moral implications of actions taken by managers and provides some time-tested ways of thinking about moral issues when they arise. Without preaching or critiquing the reader’s existing ethical sense, Ethics for Managers prepares the manager or student of business to reflect on the impact of their decisions, and to help them in making such decisions ethically.
