The Ethical Nexus: Communication, Values and Organization Decisions

During the 1980s, organizational theorists and managers alike rediscovered the role that values play in organizational life and became concerned about the apparent lack of values that underlie unethical organizational behavior. This volume examines the complex interrelationships among values, ethics, and organizational decision making. It focuses on communication, because it is through discourse that people develop their own moral codes, organizations develop and inculcate core values and ethical precepts, and incongruities within and between value sets are negotiated. Each essay also deals with modes of making decisions.Charles Conrad is the author of 'The Ethical Nexus: Communication, Values and Organization Decisions', published 1993 under ISBN 9780893917951 and ISBN 0893917958.
