Principles of Ethical Decision Making

How can Organizations Promote Ethics?

Firms can promote ethics in three ways:

1. Top management needs to support a strong ethical

climate

2. Companies can adopt a code of ethics – a formal written

set of ethical standards guiding an organization’s actions

3. Companies can promote ethical behavior by rewarding

whistleblowers - employees who report organizational

misconduct to the public
