( ) An excellent discussion of ethics and the dangers inherent in "bounded ethics," focusing only on certain decisions as involving ethics while neglecting the ethical import of other decisions and/or the unethical actions done without conscious awareness or consideration of their unethical nature. The authors do well at explaining these concepts and connecting them to recent events and studies on individual, corporate, cultural, and political levels. They also suggest possible solutions for these groups to become more aware of the ethical import of their decisions and resisting "bounded" ethicality. Worth consideration. An ethics "self help" book, with interesting information bogged down in less than fluid prose. More of a text book, and while I liked seeing yet another variation on the "we don't think the way we think we think" theme and saw a lot of crossover with the other books I've recently read, the presentation was more earnest and academic, with a bit too much repetition and "did you get what we said?" attitude to make it an enjoyable read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When confronted with an ethical dilemma, most of us like to think we would stand up for our principles. But we are not as ethical as we think we are. In Blind Spots, leading business ethicists Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel examine the ways we overestimate our ability to do what is right and how we act unethically without meaning to. From the collapse of Enron and corruption in the tobacco industry, to sales of the defective Ford Pinto, the downfall of Bernard Madoff, and the Challenger space shuttle disaster, the authors investigate the nature of ethical failures in the business world and beyond, and illustrate how we can become more ethical, bridging the gap between who we are and who we want to be. Explaining why traditional approaches to ethics don't work, the book considers how blind spots like ethical fading--the removal of ethics from the decision--making process--have led to tragedies and scandals such as the Challenger space shuttle disaster, steroid use in Major League Baseball, the crash in the financial markets, and the energy crisis. The authors demonstrate how ethical standards shift, how we neglect to notice and act on the unethical behavior of others, and how compliance initiatives can actually promote unethical behavior. They argue that scandals will continue to emerge unless such approaches take into account the psychology of individuals faced with ethical dilemmas. Distinguishing our "should self" (the person who knows what is correct) from our "want self" (the person who ends up making decisions), the authors point out ethical sinkholes that create questionable actions. Suggesting innovative individual and group tactics for improving human judgment, Blind Spots shows us how to secure a place for ethics in our workplaces, institutions, and daily lives.
