Such an ethical protocol should answer on mentioned question before the managerial decision or before the decision implementation. It is recommended that every strategic managerial decision should pass through ethical procedure by means of presented protocol, so that it positively answer on majority of placed questions. So, managerial decision would have the greatest possibility to be ethical.
