Summary: The research will ask how: - Organizations learn their ethics in and through management practice? - Learning relates to community expectations of organizations? - Organizational ethical practices relate to the public image that organizations portray? Using ethnographic methods we will research how concrete organizational practice is informed by ethics and foregrounded through organizational learning. Managerial practice will be compared with broader concerns embedded in community expectations. Comparisons will be drawn between espoused portrayals of public images by organizations with the power practices that inform everyday managerial behaviour. We will produce a model for organizational learning and ethical management practice.
