Speaking of Business Ethics
Talking about Business Ethics is immersed in a subject that some believe should be in the attic of ideas or in the basement of the talks without practicality. It is easy to see in any library that the emphasis is not just to combine business and enterprise development and ethics. In fact to go a library is difficult to find publications that discuss the issue, although the amount does not necessarily indicate anything definitive, at least mark a trend.
To win it and make a profit rather than short or medium term, but in a project that lasts over time, ethics is undoubtedly one of the fundamental ways.
Effects of ethics and business associate
1. Build trust. When Ford, in 2000, decided to recall 1.4 million cars from defective seatbelts installed in the driver’s seat and front passenger, not only did it not to be exposed to a flood of lawsuits but to avoid creating an image that was finally risky business for the company. Acting on solid ethical principles and non-utilitarian or Machiavellian, builds trust among consumers.
2. Produce profits. The companies want to sell their products, however, when you want it at all costs, without regard to ethical principles, which ultimately produces a decrease in consumption. Consumers eventually will understand that act under a certain pattern unethical is not a good business.
3. Creates a pleasant working environment. When workers feel shame or rejection by the work you do and what the company makes for a business, then it creates a situation of bad atmosphere at work where there is absenteeism, refusal to compromise with the company, socabar successful efforts, including sabotage. An employee pays more when is proud of his company. It is a constant psychological motivation pride.
Ethics, good business
Acting with universal ethical principles based, is ultimately a good deal. Generate positive attitudes in people to know that companies act according to ethical standards clear and transparent.
It is necessary to deep reflection about the problem. It is also important to encourage more strategies to educate new generations in different ways to address the business and development without neglecting the ethical sense.
