Abstract
This paper discusses the importance of ethics and technology in the managerial decision making process and work related stress. In the competitive corporate world of today, it is extremely important for companies to base their decisions on ethically accurate and morally sound principles. Since managers are the decision makers in the firms, the responsibility of incorporating ethics into everyday decisions lies with them, and, therefore, they play a key role in weaving ethics and morals into the company's fabric. It discusses two diverse topics- ethics in decision-making and technology-induced work-related stress. Any organization can be used as an example in the discussion of ethics. The paper looks at how technology is a gift but also an extra stress factor. When ethical scandals grip a company and in some cases technology causing them, that company's future and good name can be destroyed.
