Description
Using a decision-making strategy designed by the authors, ETHICS ON THE JOB guides students through the basic and most important parts of an analysis leading directly to a decision in the face of ethical conflict. With the RESOLVEDD strategy, the authors have devised an unrivaled system that they teach students to implement through numerous, timely case studies and detailed analyses. This book allows students to develop a working grasp of ethical principles and reasoning in day-to-day decision-making, and thus apply the RESOLVEDD strategy to personal ethical issues.

Pfeiffer and Forsberg (both of Delta College) present an analytical model for ethical decision making, dubbed RESOLVEDD for its step-by-step approach consisting of: Reviewing the situation, Ethical issue identification, Solutions, Outcomes, Likely impact, Values analysis, Evaluation, Decision, and Defense. After describing the model, they provide two case studies demonstrating how it is applied. The bulk of the text is then given over to 45 fictional cases, which the readers are asked to evaluate, from whether to cross a picket line to consideration over whether to install pollution controls that are not legally required.
