Reaction
This part of the discussion provides some critical analysis on the approaches taken by people who are in the business world regarding their reactions on ethics. Indeed, the people in the business world honor the practice of ethics in the proper management of their operational ventures. Though, most of these people often embrace ethical practices, it is also important to realize that there are some exceptional cases.
These cases have been witnessed with the rogue businessmen who do not care about the practice of ethical behaviors. For instance, it is possible to find a manager who sexually harasses an employee of the organization. Such cases are rampant among the male employees who tend to engage their female subjects into sexual relationships. This can be in the form of the use of explicit language that has some sexual connotations.
They might even go to the extent of spanking their female subjects. Other unethical behaviors that have been witnessed among the people in the business are insider trading, theft and fraud cases. Such unethical practices derail the success and growth of the organization. Therefore, it is important to instill and embrace sound ethics and proper codes of conduct among the people in business.
It can be argued that the people in the business care about the concept of social responsibility, to some extent. This has been witnessed in situations when the people in business donate some items to homes for the destitute and physical challenged persons.
Besides, these groups of people can as well donate funds towards drilling boreholes towards the benefit of the community members. Some corporate policies have sound procedures and methods on carrying out such projects as part of the organization’s social responsibility. However, these groups of people in business have different motives since their main aim is to gain publicity and attract more customers through their social responsibility projects, which are initiated in the community.
