November 2004Ethical Considerations in Strategic Business Planning
A word to future business managers:
Position of power carry complicated responsibilities. On some occasions ,these responsibilities conflict each other. At other times they conflict with a manager's personal values. All of these responsibilities, personal and professional, have strong claims, but often there is no way for the manager to meet every claim. These are not the issues of right and wrong that we learn about as children. they are conflicts of right versus right."
