A Decision making process for ethics requires a persuasive and rational justification for a

decision.Rational justification is developed through a logical process of a decision making


that gives proper attention to such things as facts,alternative perspectives,consequences to all
stakeholders, ethical principle.There is an initial sketch for an ethical decision making
process.Overall, there is 5 step in decision making process.

The first step is determine the fact of the situation.In this process, Many ethical
conflicts in a scenario can be explained by perpetual differences related to how people
experience and comprehend situations.The ethical decision that is made is more rational than
the ethical decision that is made without taking the facts into consideration. Making as honest
effort to understand the situation,to distinguish facts from mere opinion is vital.Sometimes
the disagreement of ethics might turn out to be a disagreement about the facts.For
example,An example of something that is legal but unethical is paying employees minimum
wage without any increase over time, which leads to them struggling to manage their living
expenses.

In addition to that, a second step requires the ability to recognize an ethical decision or an
ethical issue then identify the ethical issues involved.Certainly the first and second steps
might arises in reverse order,depending on the circumstances.Economic decisions and ethical
decisions are often discussed as if they are two separate and competing considerations.
However, in reality, they are not mutually exclusive and can be integrated in decision-making
processes.Economic decisions typically focus on maximizing profits and efficiency, while
ethical decisions consider the impact of decisions on various stakeholders, such as
employees, customers, the environment, and society as a whole. Ethical decisions aim to
ensure that actions are fair, just, and respectful to all parties involved.While economic
decisions may sometimes conflict with ethical considerations, in many cases, ethical
decisions can actually lead to better economic outcomes. For example, investing in
sustainable practices can reduce long-term costs and increase customer loyalty, while treating
employees fairly can improve morale and productivity.

Moreover, normative myopia is often associated with problem of ethical issue might be
unnoticed.Normative myopia is a tendency to ignore or lack of the ability to recognize,ethical
issues in decision making.Other than that, innattentional blindness, about if we happen to
focus on are told specifically to pay attention to a particular element of a decision or event,
we are likely to miss all of the surrounding details, no matter how obvious.Third is,change
blindness,occurs when gradual change goes unnoticed over time.

Third step is identify and to consider all of the people affected by a decision, the
people often called stakeholders.Many ethical conflicts in a scenario can be explained by
differences in perception related to how people experience and comprehend situations.The
ethical decision that is made is more rational than the ethical decision that is made without
taking the facts into consideration. Stakeholders in this general sense,include all of the group
and or individual affected by a decision,policy or operation of a firm or individual,The
example of stakeholder in the corporation is Employees,Owners,Suppliers,Goverment,Local
Community and Customer.The company's major stakeholders can assist owners and
managers in making crucial decisions to increase their market share or industry reach thanks
to their power, expertise, and understanding of the business. For decision-making strategies
to be improved, it is crucial to comprehend the interests and demands of the stakeholders.

The Fourth step is, consider the available alternatives.Sometimes we fall into a decision by
failing to consider the range of alternatives, and this can be failure of imagination.Moral
imagination is the capacity to foresee numerous alternate choices, outcomes, solutions,
rewards, and damages when faced with an ethical decision.The Fifth step is, the decision-
making process is to compare and weigh the alternatives on each stakeholder you defined.The
best strategy for completing the task may involve attempting to put oneself in the other
person's shoes.Making an effort to "walk a mile in their shoes," or comprehend a situation
from another's point of view, is a key component of making ethical decisions in a responsible
manner. Predicting the likely, foreseeable, and potential effects on all important stakeholders
will be necessary when weighing the alternatives. Consideration of strategies to lessen, or
make up for any potential negative repercussions or to improve and promote positive
consequences will be a crucial component of this review.

The sixth step is, make a decision.Making a decision in business usually means formulating a
plan and carrying it out.Usually, the decision will be ye or no decisions.Making a decision
means formulating a plan and carrying it out.Final step to be done is, Consider the effects of
our choices, keep an eye on the results, learn from them, and adjust our behaviour when
confronted with similar problems in the future. In the context of an institution, this can
involve applying what has been learnt to create a plan for averting future disasters, implement
new routines, and create new rules and procedures.
