Abstract

Given the importance of ethical alignment for effective supply management, if the rest of the organization is not in alignment, the efforts of those espousing an ethical stance can be undermined. Moreover, lack of alignment might exist even within departments, creating adverse consequences due to decisions made. Thus alignment is a critical factor is both supporting, and living out, stated values and in avoiding costly problems.
