Management Ethics: Integrity at Work

Front Cover
SAGE, 1997 M06 10 - 399 pages
This book redefines what it means for a manager to function with integrity in private and public sectors, domestically and globally. It integrates latest theoretical work in descriptive and normative ethics, and incorporates legal, communication, quality, and organizational theories into a conceptual framework that improves managerial judgment in handling moral complexity at work. Authors Joseph A. Petrick and John F. Quinn use their organizational ethics consulting and academic research experience to provide practical assessment and decision making tools that convert ethics theories into sound action steps. The book examines three key dimensions of management integrity: judgment, process, and developmental dimensions and applies them to individual chapters devoted to the subprocesses of ethical planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. They focus their theories and tools on 28 ethics minicases related to each management function in seven allied management application clusters: accounting, auditing management; finance, investment management; marketing, advertising management; business management, business law, human resource management; technology, quality operations, organizational behavior management; public, nonprofit, health care management; and international, environmental, public policy management. This book builds management integrity by linking and enhancing both ethics and management competence in responsible planning, organizing, leading, and controlling by professionals and students in private and public sectors - domestically and globally--Publisher's description.
