Ethical decision making involves greater clarity of values than financial or production decisions, as ethical decisions cannot be reduced to algorithms. It is difficult to predict outcomes and know that the option with the best consequences was chosen, due to uncertainty. This uncertainty lies at the root of all challenges in ethical decision making. Additionally, the ethical perspectives of organizations and their critics are often opposite and based on incompatible reasoning, as organizations aim to justify themselves by arguing they create value, while critics view things differently.

DECISION MAKING

 Decision making involves a great degree of value clarity, ethical
decision making involves more! Unlike certain financial and
production decisions, ethical decisions cannot be coded into
digital machines.
 In the era of uncertainty, it is almost impossible to predict the
outcomes of decision making. One of the principles of ethical
decision making assumes that the outcome of a decision is
known and that the decision that results in greater number of
people is the best.
 Practically, anticipating the exact outcome of a course of action is
impossible. This uncertainty is at the route of all difficulties in
ethical decision making.

5. CONCLUSION
 Lastly we may say that ethical stand points of organisation
and their critics are opposite and based on entirely different
set of reasons. Here the ethical argument made to justify
intention are by and large incompatible.
 The organisation may justify itself by saying that it is adding
more value to the society and to individual lives, making it
more comfortable by its products and services.
