Managing for Ethical-Organizational Integrity is a three-chapter, 111-page book, written by Dr. Abe J. Zakhem, Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Seton Hall University, and Dr. Daniel E. Palmer, Kent State University. Published by Business Expert Press in April, 2012, the text provides an overview of business ethics for managers and students. The authors argue that ethical-organizational integrity drives long-term company success and sustainable value production, serves to prevent illegal conduct, and contributes meaningfully to overall social welfare. The book aims to be a practical guide and discusses theory only as a secondary matter. The authors open the book by contrasting two possible conceptual frameworks for managing ethical-organizational integrity. The first is the neoclassical framework, which states that managers do best for themselves, their company, and best promote overall welfare by trying to maximize profits for shareholders. The authors believe this framework is myopic and advocate instead for a more expansive framework: the stakeholder management approach, which views the goals of long-term company success, sustainable value production, and satisfied stakeholder expectations as mutually dependent. This approach, the authors argue, provides a superior framework for understanding and fulfilling the ethical obligations of business and systematically promoting ethical-organizational integrity and company success. The authors go on to provide a step-by-step procedure for evaluating ethical decisions in business.

More exacting and technical terminology is introduced to help clarify and define a hierarchy of moral rights, and is then used to identify and prioritize the rights of and corresponding obligations due to various stakeholders. The authors conclude with a series for questions for further research and discussion.
