Managerial Ethics
The article on ‘moral philosophy and managerial perception of ethics codes’ by Robertson and Geiger (2011) assessed the impact of “cultural differences on managerial attitudes on moral beliefs and ethical codes” (Geiger & Robertson, 2011, p.351). The article integrated cultural dimensions in assessing the managers’ attitudes on moral philosophies as a foundation of the study. Different theories and hypothesis were developed for the purpose of the research to ensure that there was a focus on the study. In the process, the fundamental moral philosophies that are employed commonly in business ethics were discussed.
Definition of concepts used in a study never lack, and the paper articulately define concepts and the methods that were utilized in the study. The work had proper scientific measures and methodologies in place with surveys instruments used to obtain results for the study. Respondents for the study on firms having a code of ethics came both from the internal and external environment. There are ethical differences in terms of moral philosophies of managers within different institutions (Geiger & Robertson, 2011). Even though the study results were verified, we understand that the findings are limited in applicability since it was only generated from two countries but it can be used to inform practice.
I would recommend this article to peers to facilitate their understanding of the difference in moral standards and ethical values that inform morality. They can develop ideas about cross-border ethics and on the implementation of ethical behavior policies and the differences in managerial attitudes and moral philosophies. The material was presented effectively, with the basis of the study advanced from the previous researches to shed more light on the subject. The strengths of the article are that it put into consideration scientific and research techniques in the study present findings even though its results are limited.
