Abstract :
Growing needs to achieve excellence in decision making under ethical dilemma has provoked the researchers to struggle and propose various models for handling such tricky and sensitive situations. The focus of this paper is made on the understanding of ethics, ethical dilemma and its affects on decision making. Various models proposed by several researchers are reviewed to understand the necessary steps in assessing the ethical dilemma and decision making. The paper has reviewed six (6) models and proposed a contingent model (framework) for ethical decision making while integrating these models.
