Moral Thinking in Management: An Essential Capability

Author

  • Paine, Lynn Sharp

Abstract

This paper argues that moral thinking is an essential management capability which strengthens organizations and contributes to their performance in the marketplace. The paper explains what moral thinking is, and addresses the most common reasons for considering it inappropriate or irrelevant to managerial practice. The argument provides a compelling rationale for the corporate ethics initiatives undertaken in recent years.
