Navigating Dilemmas introduces the Ethical Orientations and Processes (EOPs) model, a framework for understanding and navigating ethical dilemmas in organizations and societies. Rather than focusing on specific issues, the model provides a flexible approach to recognizing ethical content, developing awareness, addressing conflicts, and engaging in collective ethical sense-making.

Drawing on theoretical perspectives, empirical data, and case studies, the book explores how power relations, ideological conformity, identity, global value chains, branding, and workplace structures shape individual and collective decision-making. It examines how “social leadership” and mechanisms of conformity contribute to societal inequality, while highlighting the role of empowered identities in resisting dominant narratives.

By introducing the concept of proactive ethical orientations, the book offers a perspective on how individuals and organizations can become more attentive to emerging dilemmas and develop more reflective approaches to decision-making. Navigating Dilemmas provides a versatile framework for scholars, researchers, and practitioners interested in ethics, organizations, society, power, and sustainability.
