Document Summary

How the nature of a management job creates the possibility for ethical abuses. After reading this section, you should understand that ethical abuses are not always so blatant as to be easily identified. Your textbook suggests that managers who themselves may not be guilty of unethical acts may still be responsible through the pressures they put on others to engage in such acts. Many such actions lead one to the point where it is almost impossible to say who is to blame. The two-by-two typology in your textbook is very useful for classifying types of deviance. A(cid:373)o(cid:374)g its (cid:373)a(cid:374)(cid:455) uses is the (cid:272)apa(cid:272)it(cid:455) to o(cid:396)ga(cid:374)ize a (cid:272)o(cid:373)pa(cid:374)(cid:455)"s poli(cid:272)ies (cid:396)elated to de(cid:448)ia(cid:374)(cid:272)e, si(cid:374)(cid:272)e the various types of deviance would warrant different sorts of responses from a company. An excellent test of your comprehension (i. e. , a good exam question) is to switch the axes around and to map on the four kinds of deviance without referring to your textbook.
