What is Ethics? Ethics may be defined as the set of moral principles that distinguish what is right from what is wrong. Ethics has a twofold objective: it evaluates human practices by calling upon moral standards. It may give prescriptive advice on how to act morally in a given situation.

Ethics from Western Perspective Ethics are broadly described in the literature as moral principles about right and wrong, honorable behavior reflecting values, or standards of conduct. Honesty, openness, responsiveness, accountability, due diligence, and fairness are core ethical principles. Ethics are a branch of philosophy with no clear-cut definition of what behaviors are ethical and which are unethical when judging one’s behavior. There is no general or global consensus for defining ethical behavior for individuals, as it may change from time to time and from one place to another place. There is no universal measure or standard as to what constitutes ethical behavior.

How is Ethics Related to Economics Philosophers and writers viewed ethics as a matter of choice. Individuals must make choices in their lives. This is important to note—businesses don't make choices. Choices are made or implemented by individuals within the economic enterprise. People in government make choices, people in educational institutions make choices, people in businesses make choices, people with churches make choices; everyone is forced to make choices, and even the choice not to choose is a decision.

Factors influencing the ethical behavior Ethical problems may vary from one person to another according to the factors influencing the Ethical Behavior: Legal Interpretations: In secular societies, legal interpretations are based upon contemporary values and standards according to time, country or situation. Organizational Factors: The organization too can affect or influence participant’s behavior based on the degree of commitment of the organization's leader conduct Individual Factors: Individuals come to work with different values based on the personal values and morals, family influences, peer influence and life experiences.

Examples of Ethical Issues Ethical issues may vary from one organization to another according to the factors influencing the Ethical Behavior: conflicts of interest, quality control issues, discrimination in hiring and promotion, misuse of proprietary information, abuse of company expense accounts, misuse of company assets, drug and alcohol abuse, environmental pollution, environmental destruction, etc.

Introduction to Business Ethics Chapter III

Chapter Objectives Present the definition of ethics in general and business ethics in particular. Recognize the need for a code of ethics that is upheld especially by setting the right “tone at the top.” Understand the board’s role in setting the company’s ethical codes. Recognize the benefits of and need for an ethical workplace. Identify incentive programs and their roles in promoting an ethical workplace.

Ethics at Workplace Business Ethics There is increased interaction between the board of directors, audit committees, internal auditors, external auditors, executives, and employees in general regarding ethical conduct in the workplace. Business ethics are most simply described as: a process of promoting moral principles and standards that guide business behavior.

Code of Ethics All organizations, regardless of their mission (e. g Code of Ethics All organizations, regardless of their mission (e.g., profit oriented, nonprofit) and size (large vs. small), should establish an “Organizational Ethical Culture.” that means: (1) Organization, which is defined as a group of individuals or entities bound to achieve a shared goal; (2) Ethics, which is honorable behavior conforming to the norm of the group; (3) Culture, which is a pattern of shared beliefs adopted by the group in dealing with its internal and external affairs.

Business Ethics Four different levels of business ethics have been identified based on what type of business and how their actions are evaluated. 1. The society level, which defines ethical behavior and assesses the effect of business on society. 2. The industry level, which suggests that different industries have their own set of ethical standards (e.g., chemical industry vs. pharmaceutical industry) 3. The company level, under which different companies have their own set of ethical standards 4. The individual manager level, at which each manager and other corporate participants are responsible for their own ethical behavior CONSEQUENTLY, one feasible way to judge ethical behavior is to focus on determinants of business ethics and behavior such as corporate culture, incentives, opportunities, and choices.

Business Ethics (Cont.) Corporate Culture Companies should promote a spirit of integrity that goes beyond compliance. Incentives Individuals within the company tend to act according to incentives provided to them in terms of rewards and the performance evaluation process. Opportunities Effective corporate governance, internal controls, and enterprise risk management can reduce the opportunity for unethical conduct. Choices Individuals, in general, are given the freedom to make choices and usually choose those that will maximize their well-being.

What are the attributes of an ethical culture? Sense of employee responsibility. Freedom to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. Managers modeling ethical behavior and expressing the importance of integrity. An understanding by leadership of the pressure points that drive unethical behavior. Processes to find and fix these areas of pressure.

What are the six principles of business ethics and conduct? Comply with a written code of business conduct. Provide sufficient training to all personnel within their organization regarding personal responsibility under the code. Encourage internal reporting of violations of the code with the promise of no retaliation for such reporting. Self-govern their activities by implementing controls to monitor compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Share their best practices in implementing the DII principles through participation in an annual Best Practices Forum. Be accountable to the public, particularly through the completion of an annual Public Accountability Questionnaire.
