This document discusses how organizational structure and culture can influence ethical decision making. It describes two main organizational structures - centralized and decentralized. Centralized organizations concentrate decision making authority at the top and rely on formal rules, which can lead to issues like blame-shifting. Decentralized organizations delegate authority more widely and are informal, but employees may have too much autonomy. Organizational culture is shaped by leadership and provides norms for employee behavior. Reward and punishment systems should reinforce the culture. Groups within the organization can also influence ethics through establishing norms.
