This case-oriented text applies insights in ethical theory to a variety of issues drawn from today's managerial experience. The carefully selected cases go beyond simply raising questions to theoretically exploring the nature of moral decision-making in management. The text employs the NORM (Neutral, Omnipartial Rule-Making) method to assess a series of complex issues. This new method for moral reasoning, based on the work of John Rawls and other recent philosophers, dramatically simplifies the handling of complex cases and enables students to make defensible, reasoned assessments of a broad range of current business practices.
