Abstract: AbstractThis chapter is an adapted version of AE Singer and MS Singer, “Management-science and business-ethics,” Journal of Business Ethics 16, pp. 385–395, 1997. It is noted that many leading management scientists have advocated ethicalism: the incorporation of social and ethical concerns into traditional “rational” OR- MS techniques and management decisions. In fact, elementary forms of decision analysis can readily be augmented, using ethical theory, in ways that sweep in ethical issues. In addition, alternative conceptual models of decision-analysis, game-theory and optimality are now available, all of which have brought OR-MS and business-ethics into a closer alignment.
