1. Ethical frameworks: Guide individuals in solving ethical dilemmas. These frame-
works do not solve the ethical problem but assist the manager in clarifying personal
values and beliefs. Four of the most used ethical frameworks are utilitarianism,
duty-based reasoning, rights-based reasoning, and intuitionism.
2. Telelogic: Utilitarianism or consequentialist theory. Utilitarianism encourages de-
cision making based on what provides the greatest food for the greatest number of
people. It suggests that the end justify the means.
3. Deontologic: Ethical theory judges whether the action is right or wrong regard-
less of the consequences and is based on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant in the
18th century.
4. Duty-based reasoning: Ethical framework stating that some decisions must be
made because one has a duty to something or to refrain from doing something.
5. Utilitarian (teleologic): Decisions are made with the goal of providing the great-
est good for the greatest number of people.
6. Rights based (deontologic): Individuals have basic inherent rights that should
not be interfered with during decision making.
7. Duty based (deontologic): Decisions are made because one has a duty to do
something or to refrain from doing something.
8. Intuitionist (deontologic): Issues are weighed on a case-by-case basis to deter-
mine relative goals, duties, and rights.
9. Ethical relativism: Suggests that individuals make decisions based only on what
seems right or reasonable according to value systems or cultures.
10. Ethical universalism: Holds that ethical principles are universal and constant,
and that ethical decision making should not vary because of individual circum-
stances or cultural differences.
11. Paternalism: One individual assumes the right to make decisions for another.
