The Ethical Nexus

During the 1980s organizational theorists and managers alike rediscovered the role that values play in organizational life and became concerned about the apparent lack of values that underlie unethical organizational behavior. This volume examines the complex interrelationships among values ethics and organizational decision making. It focuses on communication because it is through discourse that people develop their own moral codes organizations develop and inculcate core values and ethical precepts and incongruities within and between value sets are negotiated. Each essay also deals with modes of making decisions.
