This study was conducted to identify and analyze how managers view themselves and others when confronted with a series of ethical dilemmas. A national publication, Design News, was used to disseminate a survey containing 10 scenarios to its readers; 421 questionnaires were returned and tabulated, and results were compared to a similar survey conducted in 1977 (Gautschi). Findings indicated a slight tendency for respondents to select riskier alternatives in 1987 than in 1977. Ethical conduct in business appears to be influenced by the following factors: time constraints when making decisions, political pressures within the organization, the moral and ethical constraints of current ethical standards, and decision-makers' personal values
