Abstract

Recent years have seen the rise of nudging in people management and business communications. Nudging is a theory that is implemented in a variety of spheres that influences consumer behavior and decision making, using choice architecture. Despite the effectiveness of such methods, concerns and critique of their policies remain. Some opponents describe nudging as manipulation and power abuse, while others support such behavioral interventions. Therefore, in this essay the review was conducted on ethical debates surrounding the nudging theory.
