Ethics In Business-In 2008 : An amusing discussion of the illusions and the reality of business ethics...When we begin to laugh then perhaps we can begin to change

It is not enough to value high standards in business and the UN unaudited Global Compact. To live up to them under pressure, requires an ethical mind. So many senior business managers' people profess high nice ethical values, but their behavior does not bear out what they claim. What will we not do when we are desperate enough But perhaps ethics in business is a wonderful illusion This little book is designed as an amusing ... but creative ... learning experience, to explore business ethics in terms of illusions and realities, and thus to: a. Briefly review ethical standards. b. Relate those standards to business realities. c. Discuss the ethical impacts of: pressures to survive, politics, accountants, global business and computers. d. Develop some ethical opportunities for the future. Now, for an ethical business culture, the key elements are trust, accountability, integrity, and respect. The benefits are safety nets and high performance. Leadership is the key.
