SummaryOver the course of the last decade, organizations in the United States have been faced with balancing financial needs and ethical considerations. In many cases, organizations must consider what practices can be utilized to help maintain a healthy ethical climate in the organization while still enabling the business to remain highly profitable. Increasing pressure from stockholders in the organization can serve as the impetus for leaders of the organization to choose profit-making schemes over ethical considerations. This is an issue that is well illustrated in the cases of both Enron and WorldCom. With the realization that ethics has become such an important issue for the development of organizations and professionals, there is a clear impetus to consider the specific techniques or tools that can be used to keep business ethics commensurate with economic growth and profit. Using this as a basis for investigation, this research considers an examination of what it means to practice architecture ethically. Specifically, this investigation examines the particular services that should be provided by the architect and how much profit the professional should garner for his or her services.
