Sumario:Codes of Conduct probes the psychological and social processes by which companies and their managers respond to a wide array of ethical dilemmas, from risk and safety management to the treatment of employees. What leads companies to ignore safety problems with their products? How do individual employees become part of company wrongdoing? How do negative stereotypes affect hiring and promotion? Contributors to this volume employ a wide range of case studies to illustrate the effects of social influence and group persuasion, organizational authority and communication, fragmented responsibility, and the process of rationalization.
Notas:Papers presented at a conference held at Northwestern University in the summer of 1994.
