At a time when fraud, sexual harassment, and other forms of workplace misconduct are making daily headlines, ethics has become as indispensable a tool for the modern workplace as technology or finance.
In TAKING ETHICS SERIOUSLY, author John Hooker, provides an intellectual framework for deciding whether an action is ethical. Hooker brings his extensive background in philosophy, logic, and management science to the rigorous analysis of ethical dilemmas.
The book defines the three conditions, based on ideas that have been discussed in ethical literature for decades, that an action must satisfy to be ethical:
- Generalizabilty
- Utility Maximization
- Respect for Autonomy
