Abstract
Research in ethical decision-making has received considerable attention in the realm of the business community in the last three decades due in part to numerous high profile scandals (e.g., Enron). The medical community has been less engaged in this line of investigation as the primary scholar focus has been in biomedical as opposed to social science/humanities. However, recently researchers and their methods have been attracted to the medical field. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether an ethical decision-making measure prominent in the business literature can be applied to the medical contexts.
