This text provides a problem-solving method that can be applied to nearly any ethical conflict in the workplace. The steps of the RESOLVEDD strategy include: Review the details and background of the case. Identify the ethical problem, issue, or conflict the case presents. Reduce and group solutions into a few main solutions. Identify the outcomes of each main solution. Determine the likely impact of each main solution on people's lives. Identify the values upheld and violated by each main solution. Evaluate the values, outcomes, likely impact of main solution. State, detail, and support the decision. Defend the decision against objections to its main weaknesses.
The text clarifies the concept of professionalism and its ethical roots and implications, and addresses the nature and need for evaluation in ethical analysis.
The authors provide checklists and other features to facilitate students' retention of the RESOLVEDD strategy.
