Moral imagination in organizational problem-solving: an institutional perspective
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the institutional factors that have a positive or negative impact on moral imagination in organizational problem-solving can play a valuable role in addressing the question of how organizations can encourage moral imagination in the business decision-making process. Within the business context, moral imagination involves an awareness of the social, economic, organizational and personal issues that may have an impact on how a business problem is viewed. This problem must be solved in a way that can be morally justified by others outside the company.
