A method in the context of making ethical decisions and managing a socially responsible business refers to a systematic approach or procedure used to address responsibilities to stakeholders. It involves analyzing situations, considering stakeholder interests, and implementing actions that align with ethical principles and social responsibility.
A method is like using a map and compass for navigation on a hiking trail; just as the map provides the layout of the land and the compass helps you choose the right direction based on your destination, a method guides businesses in making decisions that consider all stakeholders' positions and lead to ethical outcomes.
