Description

This program is concerned with the issue of the moral responsibility of a manager or leader being confronted with the challenge of doing the right thing in a practical setting rather than the mental activity of discerning what is right. How does a manager balance the conflict between the responsibility he owes himself as an individual to uphold his personal ethics and the responsibility placed on him as a leader in his organization to take the hard decisions? The proposition of spheres of morality that combine with CSR to inform the role of the executive in decision making – as a person, as an economic agent, as a company leader or beyond the firm’s boundaries – are proposed for resolving these ethical dilemmas.
