Sumario:Moral thinking is a essential management capability that strengthens organizations and contributes to their performance in the marketplace. Moral thinking provides a distinctive way of seeing the world and evaluating choices that can aid managerial effectiveness by placing decisions within a social and normative context and thus highlighting important factors that might otherwise be overlooked. Managers who eschew moral thinking deny themselves access to this perspective, running the risk of neglecting important considerations related to the welfare of their organizations, their communities, and their personal lives. The importance of moral thinking provides a impressive rationale for the corporate ethics initiatives undertaken in recent years.
