Despite the strategic and competitive advantages possibly gained by developing sustainable water processes, many firms have not responded to the threat of impending water shortages. An integrated model of strategic issue diagnosis drawn from and extending previous models explains when managers will recognize a strategic issue and its ethical implications. When managers perceive that an issue (i) can be resolved, meaning that it is feasible , (ii) has implications for the organization that are important, meaning that it is urgent , and (iii) when significant harm is probable, meaning the issue has moral intensity , then managers are more likely to become committed to and exert effort to resolve the issue.
