ABSTRACT

This chapter details the managers who work there will not automatically have to abide by these policies – they should be given a chance to shape them. It also discusses how an ethical policy agenda works in governments. This will be preceded by a brief passage on the outlines of institutional theory and how it relates to the human centered paradigm. The relation between institutional theory and the human centered paradigm can best be inferred from a definition given by Stanford Professor William Richard Scott. For any institution, the challenge is to have a clear map of the impact its activities have on society and a clear strategy to ensure that its operations and performance carry through the direction provided by its leadership. When government acts as a trustee of society, the relation to business, in many democracies, includes the process of hearings and consultations in the pre-legislative phase.
