The Politics of Ethics: Methods for Acting, Learning, and Sometimes Fighting with Others in Addressing Problems in Organizational Life - Paperback

by Paul Nielsen (Author), Richard P. Neilsen (Author), Richard P. Nielsen (Author)

The Politics of Ethics examines the obstacles to behaving ethically in organizations. Blending insights from behavioral science, action theory, and moral philosophy, Nielsen constructs a powerful framework for evaluating the strategies organizations employ to foster organizational ethics. The book scrutinizes several popular methods of overcoming obstacles to ethical behavior--ethics compliance codes, win-lose or win-win negotiating, whistle-blowing, dialog methods, due process systems--and weighs the strengths and weaknesses of each.
