Discuss the differences in utilitarianism and values ethics in making a decision
Utilitarianism lends itself to a very business-like approach to the decision. Decision makers analyze the pros and cons of various alternatives, looking for potential dangers such as financial loss, negative publicity, physical harm to others and so forth. They also look for benefits such as the greatest profit, the best publicity and so forth. Values ethics has a more internal focus with an analysis of the mission statement, values and culture of an organization to make a decision that creates the best "fit" with the organization.
