Blind Spots: Why We Fail to Do What's Right and What to Do about It

By Max H. Bazerman, Ann E. Tenbrunsel

Categories: Business & Money, Politics & Social Sciences

Business ethicists Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel explain why people behave less ethically than they think they do. Using research in behavioral ethics, they show how blind spots, self-interest and organizational pressures lead well-meaning people to approve unethical choices without noticing. They apply these ideas to examples such as the Challenger disaster and the financial crisis, and suggest ways individuals and organizations can make more ethical decisions.
