Tiivistelmä: | As an alternative to attempts to impose models of personal moral development (e.g. Kohlberg) upon organisations the authors propose an evolutionary model of managing ethics in organisations. The Modes of Managing Morality Model that the authors suggest, is based on an analysis that explains why business organisations tend to move from less complex modes of managing ethics to more complex modes thereof. It also identifies the dominant ethics management strategies that characterise each of the stages. Instead of claiming the organisations develop morally, the authors claim that organisations move through an evolutoinary process of improving their sophistication in managing ethical performance. |
