business ethics


How as a corporate manager you can ensure that your company is conducting business a way that is responsible and ethically sound?



In order to ensure the company is conducting  business  responsibly and ethically sound the following point given below are very much necessary to ensure:

 

Ethical issues and society – examples



    * Involvement in the community

    * Honesty, truthfulness and fairness in marketing

    * Use of animals in product testing

    * Agricultural practices e.g. intensive faming

    * The degree of safety built into product design

    * Donation to good causes

    *  The extent to which a business accepts its alleged responsibilities for  mishaps,   spillages and

    * leaks

    * The selling of addictive products e.g. tobacco

    * Involvement in the arms trade

    * Trading with repressive regimes

Ethical issues arising from internal and industry practices – examples



    * Treatment of customers – e.g. honoring the spirit as well as the letter of the law in respect to warranties and after sales service

    * The number and proportion of women and ethnic minority people in senior positions

    * The organization’s loyalty to employees when it is in difficult economic conditions

    * Employment of disabled people

    * Working conditions and treatment of workers

    * Bribes to secure contracts

    * Child labor in the developing world

    * Business practices of supply firms

Unethical practices in marketing – examples



    * Pricing lack of clarity in pricing

    * Dumping – selling at a loss to increase market share and destroy competition in order to subsequently raise prices

    * Price fixing cartels

    * Encouraging people to claim prizes when they phoning premium rate numbers

    * Bait and switch” selling – attracting customers and then subjecting them to high    pressure       selling techniques to switch to an more expensive alternative

    * High pressure selling – especially in relation to groups such as the elderly

    * Counterfeit goods and brand piracy

    * Copying the style of packaging in an attempt to mislead consumers

    * Deceptive advertising

    * Irresponsible issue of credit cards and the irresponsible raising of credit limits

    * Unethical practices in market research and competitor intelligence

Unethical practices relating to products – examples

    * Selling goods abroad which are banned at home

    * Omitting to provide information on side effects

    * Unsafe products

    * Built in obsolescence

    * Wasteful and unnecessary packaging

    * Deception on size and content

    * Inaccurate and incomplete testing of products

    * Treatment of animals in product testing

Ethics and the supply chain



It would be hypocritical to claim to be a ethical firm if it turned a blind to unethical practices by suppliers in the supply chain. In particular:

    * The use of child labor and forced labor

    * Production in sweatshops

    * Violation of the basic rights of workers

    * Ignoring of health, safety and environmental standards

An ethical producer has to be concerned with what is practiced by all firms (upstream and downstream) in the supply chain.

Bribery

This is a key ethical issue in business

    * It first needs to be stated that bribery to secure a contract (especially a contract with a public sector body) is against the law and severe penalties can result

    * However, it is sometimes seem (wrongly) as a victimless crime and is often rationalized in terms of “if we don’t offer a bribery, others will”

    * From a moral or ethical perspective it should be approached not in terms of “can we get away” with it but is it right to offer a bribe to secure a contract

Institute of Business Ethics Suggestions for Good Practice

The Institute recommends that organizations issue statements of ethical practice in respect of:

    * Relations with customers

    * Relations with shareholders and other investors

    * Relations with employees

    * Relations with suppliers

    * Relations with the government and the local community

    * The environment

    * Relations with competitors

    * Issues relating to international business

    * Behavior in relations to mergers and takeovers

    * Ethical issues concerning directors and managers

    * Compliance and verification

What is an Ethical code?



This is a set of principles governing morality and acceptable behaviour

It is likely to cover:

    * Personal behavior e.g. when dealing with customers and suppliers

    * Corporate behavior e.g. when negotiating deals

    * Behavior towards society e.g. when recruiting

    * Behavior towards the environment e.g. when deciding on process

Ethical audit



This is an audit of all the firms’ activities



Purpose:



    * To check that ethical principles are being pursued

    * To check the extent to which actions are consistent with the organization’s stated ethical intentions

    * And to establish action plans if they are not

People looking for cheap home soundproofing solutions would do well to know a little about sound. Since there are different mediums, some of which aid in the travel of sound while others are resistant to it, knowing about them would help someone to choose the right soundproofing material. For example, since air offerslittle resistance to the flow of sound, some people try to block its flow to soundproof their rooms. Vibrations can also cause noise problems when sound waves travel back and forth between multiple objects or walls. Once the person gets an idea about materials and mediums that can resist the flow of sound waves, next begins his quest to find cheap soundproofing solutions.

For soundproofing walls, usage of Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) or visco-elastic material between two layers of sheetrock, which in turn are held using silicone caulking, can help. A person can also use soundproof paint over his existing paint to minimize the noise. Another cost effective sound absorbing material that comes easy on the pocket is sprayed-on cellulose.

If someone wants to soundproof the floors, he can use rubber flooring tiles that are interlocked with each other or rubber flooring rolls to great effect. Melamine tiles or acoustic carpets can also help in a person’s home soundproofing endeavor.

People looking to block airborne noises like music or voices coming through their ceilings can use a mass-loaded vinyl barrier to get good results. Inserting resilient metal channels between the drywall and the studwork can also act as a cheap soundproofing option.

For keeping the sound coming through the doors and windows to a minimum, people can use fiberboard door having medium density or seal the door jambs with foam. Soundproof curtains and wall plugs are some other inexpensive ways to cut down the noise. Some people even go for wadded up paper and egg cartons to block noise.

In other words, a person needs to test a few of these cheap soundproofing solutions to see which of these abovementioned methods serve the best for soundproofing his room and the entire house. Since all these home soundproofing options don’t cost a fortune, a person can easily use them to soundproof his home and get some solitude to relax and freshen up after a hard day’s work.
