Why is it important that companies have a good understanding of the relationship between blame and moral responsibility?

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Moral reasoning is sometimes directed at determining whether a person is morally responsible for an injury or for a wrong. A judgement about a person’s moral responsibility for wrongdoing is a judgement as to whether that the person acted intentionally and should be blamed or punished, and pay restitution. Companies have the same moral responsibility as individuals, and they can be held accountable for decisions. Companies can be held morally responsible for a wrong and be required to correct the situation. It also helps ensure that we do not mistakenly punish, penalize, or blame innocent persons. Determining moral responsibility can alleviate shame or guilt when a person is not morally responsible. When an organization knows and practices moral responsibility, it may refrain from trying to rationalize conduct and accept responsibility for what was done. It helps the company avoid blaming an individual and using rationalization and self-deception for poor business actions.
