The Ethical Contexts for Business Conflicts

This is the first in a series of studies which is aimed at clarifying one of the most vexing and ubiquitous problems of contemporary livingóethics and moral education. It deals with the area endemic to moral decision makingóconflict. This conflict is examined as it appears in corporate living. This collection of articles covers a broad array of topics to give the reader a flavor for the kinds of issues which exist in this cognate domain. Within these pages readers will explore everything from the problem of decision making and authority to models of the market which may impact on ethical and corporate decisions such as declaring bankruptcy. Other authors reflect more systemic concerns such as examining organizational structures for issues involving justice or, in another case, exploring just how and if values impact on concrete living at all.
