Answer preview
Ethical values I would use in negotiation and the criteria to make decisions.
Ethical values are moral codes and principles of what is right or wrong. They govern ones behaviour and conduct while carrying out an activity. Good ethical values do not focus on an end but the means used to achieve the end results. Carrell (2008) established three theories helps to sum up ethical practice as ethics of purpose that suggest that bad means do not necessarily guarantee a good end, ethics of principle that stresses on importance of doing to others what one would expect to receive from them and ethics of consequence that asserts that the end of any process is justified by the means used to arrive at the process.
