Moral Imagination in Organizational Problem-Solving: An Institutional Perspective

Author

Listed:
  • Vidaver-Cohen, Deborah

Abstract

This essay responds to Patricia Werhane’s 1994 Ruffin Lecture address, “Moral Imagination and the Search for Ethical Decision-making in Management,” using institutional theory as an analytical framework to explore conditions that either inhibit or promote moral imagination in organizational problem-solving. Implications of the analysis for managing organizational change and for business ethics theory development are proposed.
