Are the moral principles universal and invariable or do they change and adapt with the social changes of communities and progress in science and technology?

Download or read book Business Ethics A Philosophical and Behavioral Approach written by Christian A. Conrad and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook examines the extent to which moral values play a role as productive forces for the economy, and explores the effect of ethical and unethical Behavior on the economy. It shows how ethics improves productivity in the economy, and provides specific ethics tools for practical application for students and managers. Stemming from an overall interdisciplinary approach, and combining recent research results from sciences such as economics, business administration, Behavioral economics, philosophy, psychology and sociology, this textbook fills a gap in the literature on ethics in business. The book begins with the foundations of business ethics by defining business ethics, delineating its objectives, and discussing the importance of business ethics for business, the economy and society. Next, it presents the ethical evaluation approaches to enable the reader to evaluate economic Behavior ethically. It then explores ‘man in business’, and deals with such issues as Behavior, motivation, ethical orientation, and the presence or absence of a sense of justice. Following this is a discussion of the rules of the market and of questions such as: Does the market economy promote ethical Behavior or is there a conflict of goals between ethics and market economy? Do companies have a social responsibility? The book concludes with an analysis of the importance of ethics for productivity in the enterprise and in the economy, and presents ethics tools as the instruments with which management can promote ethical Behavior of their employees. Following a textbook structure, the book first derives knowledge from scientific studies that is relevant for students, and then summarizes the results. It explains ethical assessment approaches, and then gives an ethical assessment of economic Behavior using case studies. It uses roleplaying and games to explain the Behavior of people in relation to ethics.

Download or read book Business Ethics and Economic Growth written by Ekrem ERDEM and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose - The roots of the science of modern economics are originated from the ideas of Adam Smith who is not a pure economist but a moralist-philosopher. Basic concepts in the Wealth of Nations which is perceived as the hand book of economics depend on the arguments that Adam Smith suggests in his Theory of Moral Sentiments. In this theory, business ethics as a part of the Law of Sympathy appears as one of the factors that provide the invisible hand to operate properly. In light of this property, it is possible to assume business ethics as one of the components of the market mechanism. In this context, this study aims to analyse the link between business ethics and economic growth in the Turkish economy. Design/methodology/approach - The study employs bounced cheques and protested bonds for representing the degradation of business ethics and tries to show how this degradation affects economic growth in the Turkish economy for the period 1988-2013. Findings - Either illustrative or empirical results show that business ethics is an important determinant of economic growth in the Turkish economy and damaging it negatively effects the growth rate of the economy. Research limitations/implications - One of the most restrictive things conducting the present empirical analysis is the lack of various and longer data sets. Using different indicators in terms of business ethics with longer time span will definitely increase the reliability of the study. However, in the current form, results imply a policy that is capable of limiting the failures of business ethics may boost the Turkish economy up.Originality/value - The results tend to support the close link between business ethics and economic growth.

This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 78 % (1,0), University of Exeter (Business School), course: Strategy/Operations, language: English, abstract: 1. Introduction "Ethics are in vogue" is an assertion drawn after the International Herald Tribune (IHT) conference on luxury (Smale, 2007). The reason for this statement is the presumption of an emergent type of luxury consumer whose purchase decision is up to the ethical behaviour of business. Is this concept mere wishful thinking or does it reflect empirical reality, since the latter would void the expression "the devil wears Prada". It is obvious, that the conventional way of economic development not any longer satisfies the needs of the world in which we live - "the environment is, without doubt, one area which is being subjected to greater public scrutiny" (Dembkowski and Hanmer-Llyod, 1994). Society increasingly requires a healthy living, innovative, efficient and safe technologies as well as a "stable and safe" natural and social environment (Jochem 2011). The media especially reports on ethical and sustainable business conduct and its affects on "human health, the ecosystem and future generations" (Bonacchi and Rinaldi, 2006). Simultaneously to the increasing requirements of ethical and sustainable business conduct, the luxury fur demand is substantially growing. From US $ 456.99 million in 2001, the world fur outlook estimates an increase in sales up to US $ 854.13 million in 2011 (Parker, 2005) - fur auction houses sell "record-breaking" numbers. Fur re-emerges as a fashionable design material; especially younger designers are "fascinated with fur and use it in innovative ways" (Foreman, 2010). The material has also trickled down to the streets - the younger generation demands it more than ever; even child fashion designers use it for their collections (Vulsier, 2010). The inherent question from these insights is whether both developme

Download or read book Impacts of Business Policies on Economic Growth Achieving a Strategic Plan written by Washington Mutwiri and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 2.1, University of Washington (Economics), course: Economics, language: English, abstract: This paper presents impacts of business policies on economic growth and gives advices for creating a strategic plan. A strategic plan is used to set business priorities, inform the decisions, and guide the business operations of various organizations. The strategic plan ensures that every member of an organization plays their role in the achievement of a common goal that effectively accommodates the changes in both internal and external business environments. It's also used as a communication tool to inform all the stakeholders of the business objectives and the action plan for achieving those objectives. To develop an effective business plan, it's important that all aspects of internal and external business environment are taken into consideration. This is due to the fact that these factors such as inflation, interest rate, the Gross Domestic Product, and trade balance significantly affect the ability of the organization to attain its set objectives according to the business plan. Monetary policies are used by the government to regulate the value of a country's currency such that it remains stable at all times. The monetary policy is also concerned with a reduction in the rate of unemployment which significantly affects a country Gross Domestic Product. Therefore, a country that wishes to achieve economic milestones should be in a position to change its monetary policies so as to control important factors such as the rate of inflation. Changing these policies gives the country full control over various nominal variables such as the exchange rate and money supply so as to increase the rate of economic growth especially with regard to imports and exports. As a result, the monetary policies set by a country have consequences on the economic growth of that country.
