Download or read book Managerial Ethics written by Marshall Schminke and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the greatest strengths of business ethics research lies in the diversity of backgrounds of those interested in knowing more about it. Where else could we find moral philosophers, industrial psychologists, political scientists, and organizational sociologists hard at work exploring the same issues? These scholars bring to the table an intriguing mix of skills and viewpoints, many of which may be quite different from--and complementary to--those trained in functional areas of business-like management. However, this diversity also reflects a weakness. Researchers from such different backgrounds may be either unable or unwilling to talk to and work with each other in understanding more about these issues. This book bridges the gap and provides a basic reference volume for current business ethics researchers. Second, it stimulates new ways of thinking about, and creating interest in, linking management and ethics among those researchers. Third, it triggers management and ethics researchers who do not currently study business ethics problems to consider the implications of each to their current interests. The central theme of the book is that efforts must be made to better integrate management and ethical theory. Although the market contains a number of good business ethics books, none combines management theory with ethical theory on a chapter-by-chapter, topic-by-topic basis. This book bridges the theoretical, empirical, and at times practical gap between management and ethical scholars.

Download or read book Defining Moments written by Badaracco L. and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 1997-08-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Defining moments," according to Badaracco, occur when managers face business problems that trigger difficult, deeply personal questions. In deciding how to act, managers reveal their inner values, test their commitment to those values, and ultimately shape their characters. Badaracco builds a framework for approaching these dilemmas around three cases of increasing complexity, reflecting the escalating responsibilities managers face as they advance in their careers. The first story presents a young man whose choice will affect him only as an individual; the second, a department head, whose decision will influence his organization; the third, a corporate executive, whose actions will have much larger, societal ramifications. To guide the decision-making process, Badaracco draws on the insights of four philosophers--Aristotle, Machiavelli, Nietzsche, and James--because they offer practical rather than theoretical advice. He thus bridges the gap between classroom philosophy and corporate pragmatism. The result is a flexible framework that managers can draw on to resolve issues of conflicting responsibility in practical ways.

Download or read book Ethics for Managers written by Joseph Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues relating to ethical decision-making in the managerial context. Managers are paid to oversee the work of others, and in the course of their work, they often make decisions that impact other people. This book is intended to help managers, and students of management, reflect on the impact of their decisions, and to help them in making such decisions ethically. Ethics has to do with interpersonal or social values, and the rules of conduct that derive from them. By the time an individual becomes a manager, he or she invariably has a sense of moral right and wrong. Author Joseph Gilbert examines the sources of this sense, and how it is shaped and altered by various influences. He 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 adequately address the difficult decisions that will crop up during their career in an ethical and self-aware manner.
Download or read book The Morality Factor written by Bhagyaraj Sokappadu and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From your favourite restaurant to your country's government, all places require people in management and leadership roles, taking charge and making things work and move forward. Unfortunately, most of these places are infested with substandard leaders. These people go on doing about what they do and wreak havoc in institutions, organizations and most importantly, in the lives of other people. Interestingly we also live in a world where there is more knowledge of leadership and management than ever before.Ironically, the overabundance of ideas is a fundamental problem. In a world littered with leadership gurus, motivational content and management theories, it is so easy to be at a loss as to what to do and how. Several of these works which fall in business self-help category cover at most a handful of motivational lessons or anecdotes of empathy. The more academic texts bombard you with concepts which you need time to master without any guarantee of you being able to apply them in your context. A person in a managerial position has to read at least a dozen books to understand motivation and leadership. And one has to go through years of experience to become better. Even then, one has to be updated about the latest buzzwords or the latest motivational message released on social media platforms. All of the above makes it seem that leadership and management are intricate art forms that one has to keep learning throughout his life.In this book, Bhagyaraj attempts to propose one single fundamental framework of morality on which all forms of leadership can be built. This book details a no-nonsense approach to not only help you become a better leader, but also a better individual. At the same time, this approach allows you to detect good and bad managers and forms of leadership. Written for an IT context, the concepts are universally applicable and have been covered from a layman's perspective, solely basing on experience and commonsense. This study does away from the need to cover all kind of management jargon and addresses leadership issues at the very core of the problem, morality.
