Organizations and Ethical Individualism

by Pauline Kolenda

Overview

Lapses in the ethical behavior of individuals can seriously and permanently affect the moral health of an organization. In Organizations and Ethical Individualism, Kolenda's edited volume, this complex problem is treated from a multi-dimensional, interdisciplinary approach; each author considers organizational life from his own professional perspective while maintaining the focus on ethical individualism. This format allows for wide-angled coverage and will thus be useful to a broad range of readers: professionals and students of philosophy, professional ethics, business ethics, social psychology and the sociology of values will all find this an informative and valuable source.
