Article Abstract:
Organisation managers and decision-makers are often faced with moral and ethical dilemmas that need to be resolved. Some dilemmas have easy solutions when the choice is between right and wrong, but others involve right versus right and such dilemma paradigms can be more difficult to solve. An outline of three principles to test right v right dilemmas, based on traditional moral philosophy, is presented.
