WHY BE ETHICAL?
People like to play devil's advocate and ask why they should be ethical. After all, sometimes doing what's ethical comes at a personal cost and comes from within. We cannot deny ethics question. We think and act accordingily to ethical judgement all the time, whether we want it the same way or not.
It is concerned with an individual judgement about right and wrong aspect. Decisions taken within an organisation may be made by individuals or groups, but whoever makes them will be influenced by the culture of the company. The decision to behave ethically shows the moral value; employees must decide what they think is the right course of action. This may involve rejecting the route that would lead to the biggest short-term profit.
ETHICS
Ethics is based on well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness.
Ethics provides a framework for answering these questions well. It allows us to be consistent in our judgement, provide reasons for our beliefs and to critically examine opinions. Most importantly, ethics allows us to act in a manner that presents with a set of core values and principles

ReplyDeleteWhat are the key ethical issues for the research unit of a business, from the perspective of the business as a whole and of the individual manager of the research unit?
ReplyDeleteVery critical question i must say...
DeleteWell,The main pressure on both the organization as a whole and the manager of the unit is to make a profit. This means tremendous pressure on the research unit to arrive in a timely fashion at discoveries that can be made into marketable products. This pressure to produce results quickly can lead to managers not investigating safety or efficacy issues as carefully as they should. Drug companies, in particular, have been castigated for setting up trials to exclude types of people who might not benefit from a product (e.g. the sickest and weakest customers who most need it), excluding as outliers and negative results, ignoring adverse side effects, and suppressing negative results. All of these practices are ethically worrisome.

ReplyDeleteAssume that your employer places responsibility on you for complex negotiations that frequently involve email exchanges of draft transaction documents. One party would do a "redline" copy of the draft submitted by the other party, so that the receiver could see what changes the sender required. On one occasion, your counterpart on the other side mistakenly sent back it's redline to you so that you were able to see text that was not intended for you. Comment boxes and other evidence of what company's employees were saying to one another about their negotiating positions were included. This unintended transparency presumably occurred because the writers did not understand how to use Microsoft Word's track changes function. Using this knowledge would allow you to strike a better deal for your employer. Would it be unethical to use this material?
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, it would be unethical to use this material, which was unintentionally sent to you. It is a common practice, in fact advisable, to find out as much information as possible about the other party before entering and during negotiations to ensure the best deal for your company or client.
ReplyDeleteHowever, in this case, you are privy to the information that was not meant for you. Also, since only some information is available to you, it may not provide you a complete picture of what the other party is thinking or planning, and hence only a part of the picture. In either case, you should return the email to the sender with a note that you will not be using any of the information contained in the email for your negotiations. This is the ethical position. The other party may change their position, given that you have the information, however ethics demand that this information is not used.
What are some criteria for ethical decision making?
ReplyDeleteThere are many different systems of ethics that can be applied to business. One especially influential set is the Kantian one which lays out three major criteria that enable you to judge whether narrower principles and specific judgements are ethical.
DeleteFirst, any ethical precept should be universalizable, i.e. you should always ask what would happen if everyone acted like you do.
Second, you should always treat intelligent beings as ends in themselves rather than means to ends.
Finally, for an act to be moral, it must be intended as moral. In other words, if you improve efficiency to make money, and that reduces carbon footprint, even though the consequences are good, the act itself is not a moral one.
You explained everything really well. But since there is need and importance of everything so my question to would be, What is need and importance of business ethics?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciation sir.
DeleteNeed and importance of Business ethics:- Ethics concern an individual's moral judgements about right and wrong. Decisions taken within an organisation may be made by individuals or groups, but whoever makes them will be influenced by the culture of the company. So basically it shows the culture of the particular organization.
