Book Summary
In commerce, many moral failures are due to narrow mindsets that preclude taking
into account the moral dimensions of a decision or action. In turn, sometimes
these mindsets are caused by failing to question managerial decisions from a
moral point of view, because of a perceived authority of management. In the
1960s, Stanley Milgram conducted controversial experiments to investigate just
how far obedience to an authority figure could subvert his subjects' moral
beliefs. In this thought-provoking work, the authors examine the prevalence of
narrow mental models and the phenomenon of obedience to an authority to analyse
and understand the challenges which business professionals encounter in making
ethical decisions.
