Ethics is integral to all facets of business. While those tasked with making business decisions may have an intuitive understanding of right and wrong, it is imperative to ensure ethical compliance is accounted for in the decision-making process. The ability to articulate the rationale behind decisions is an important facet of the decision-making process. Ethics is threaded throughout the process and should be a cornerstone of that analysis. Improving the quality of the decision-making and thought processes enhances confidence in the decision, accounts for ethics throughout the process, and assists in goal attainment.
