Emergence of Ethical Issues During Strategic Change Implementation
基于一家财富500强公司的定性数据，研究了战略变革中伦理问题如何涌现，发现员工通过触发点、模糊性和员工福利框架重新解读战略问题，将其视为有害后果或权利侵犯。
Using qualitative data from a Fortune 500 company undergoing a strategic change, I describe the emergence of three ethical issues and build a theory to explain how this emergence unfolds. I find that some employees reframe the meaning of strategic issues as involving ethical implications because of trigger points, ambiguity, and the use of an available employee welfare frame. These employees take the meaning of strategic issues and reinterpret them as either leading to harmful consequences or the violation of a right. I conclude by discussing the theoretical implications for business ethics and sensemaking research, and the practical implications for responding to ethical issues.
