Even the best professional ethicists will be the first to admit that they have no ready pat answers. In fact, those who do claim to have such answers often end up undermining ethical behavior: since managers cannot make use of the abstract principles these ethicists try to promote, they prefer to ignore the whole ethical question altogether. Underlying dynamics Any issue that has implications for people’s welfare necessarily concerns norms and values. When norms and values are involved, there are no clear-cut guiding principles for the decision-maker, who is often torn between different values and ethical principles.
If the political, economic, social and technological conditions are right, NGOs will step in to address both the market and regulatory failures. Service and advocacy NGOs address these failures in different ways. Service NGOs, as introduced in Chapter 1, attempt to address the consequences of market and regulatory failures by stepping in to provide the services directly to their beneficiaries. For example, Alcoholics Anonymous, the Salvation Army, Doctors Without Borders and the many other service NGOs providing food, shelter, clothing and medical treatment to their beneficiaries all address needs that are not being fully met by the market or the government.
