Social Forces and the Manager: Readings and Cases

by William R. Allen and Louis K. Bragaw

An exploration of the nature of corporate responsibility to society, focusing on the interaction between managers and society and the concomitant role of values, morals, ethics, and laws. Organizational culture, personal values, and societal norms are stressed as important but often clashing considerations in an individual's decision-making process. Selected readings furnish the conceptual underpinnings to deal with social issues, and a wide range of cases enable the reader to focus on managerial decision-making dilemmas involving unclear choices in the social milieu.
