Organizational/Business Ethics
{"Image DocumentName": "Organizational/Business Ethics", "Image ImageDescription": "What is it? If ethics deals with the choices (the morality of right vs wrong) that individuals make in their personal and professional lives, then\u2026.. Organizational business ethics is the application of these morality related choices as influenced and guided by values, standards, rules, principles, and strategies associated with organizational activities and business situations. Life is about choices. We deal with choices in our personal lives everyday. Most of us are guided by such questions as, Is this the correct thing to do? Is this the right decision to make? We are guided by our own sense of morality, i.e. the difference between right and wrong. Organizational business ethics work much the same way. Here, we are dealing with choices, also, about anything and everything related to organizational activities and business situations. We apply our own personal set of values, standards, rules, principles, strategies, and even knowledge of what is lawful to every decision, and these are the things that guide us. But that\u2019s not to say we aren\u2019t tempted. That\u2019s not to say we don\u2019t always go against our sense of morality (right vs wrong) at various times. That\u2019s not to say we always make the right choices. Sometimes, we make the wrong one. Business ethics deals with choices about what laws should be and whether to follow them, about economics and social issues outside the law, and about the priority of self-interests over the company\u2019s interests.
