Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics is about determining value; it's deciding what's worth doing and what doesn't matter so much. Business ethics is the way we decide what kind of career to pursue, what choices we make on the job, which companies we want to work with, and what kind of economic world we want to live in and then leave behind for those coming after. There are no perfect answers to these questions, but there's a difference between thinking them through and winging it. Strategic Organizational and Business Ethics Toolkit provides a framework for identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical dilemmas encountered through working life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both a workbook and process guide for making ethical system-level decisions. It is of great use to any individual or team that is looking for support in making an ethically-justified system-level decision – that is, a decision that will impact people in more than one or two individual situations. Traditionally, when people think of ethics in the context of policy, what comes to mind is identification of key principles relevant to the work. Ethics analysis of the policy then explores what these principles mean and how they are balanced in the policy. The conventional approach only considers formal policies as worthy of ethics analysis, and the method of analysis leaves a number of key ethically significant dimensions of the system-level decision process unaddressed. The approach in this book assists decision leaders or teams to make better decisions and realize the benefits of quality, legitimacy, and compliance - and most important, greater integrity for all concerned. Applicable to almost any context, this resource has been effectively utilized in organizations that range from health care to civil society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How good companies build a culture of integrity In the present environment of corporate governance brought on by high-profile executive scandals, this book makes a strong case for encouraging business leaders to manage beyond compliance. Achieving the bare minimum of compliance isn't enough. By making corporate responsibility and integrity a strategic priority-rather than something companies are forced to comply with-companies can realize tangible financial returns and benefits. This book provides practical advice, effective tools, and time-tested best practices for approaching corporate integrity strategically and managing an integrity program on a day-to-day basis. There is a growing realization that compliance with the rules is only a minimum standard of performance, and an increasing demand from stakeholders at every level — shareholders, employees, customers along the entire supply chain, consumers, advocacy groups, and the local community at large — for more transparency and accountability from corporations. But most businesses have little experience and few tools to deal with the urgent demand to increase corporate responsibility. Corporate Integrity provides practical tools and proven processes to manage complex integrity dilemmas and support implementation: Explains how to create a culture of integrity in your organization and how to motivate the appropriate corporate behaviors. Coverage includes: How to assess and measure integrity; how to align corporate integrity commitments and actions; how to design and implement dependable and strategic corporate accountability systems and processes; how to develop corporate integrity standards and report on them, and much more. Includes a wealth of practical business tools and best practices that readers can apply to improve the level of corporate integrity in their own company. Features three detailed case studies and numerous other examples that illustrate corporate integrity dilemmas and solutions in action. Shows how managing corporate responsibility strategically and proactively can go beyond a mere public relations exercise to foster a corporate "win" in the court of popular opinion and in the marketplace. Bridges the gaps between corporations, governments, employees, interest groups, and consumers. Offers tools and solutions that apply to both for-profit corporations and non-profit organizations.

Book excerpt: Business Ethics provides a thorough review and analysis of business ethics issues using several learning tools: Strategic Stakeholder Management as the Theme: All chapters use a strategic stakeholder approach as a unifying theme. The text is thus the first text that adopts this approach. Most business ethics scholars and practitioners agree that successful ethical companies are the ones that can strategically balance the needs of their various stakeholders. By adopting this approach, students will be able to see how the various aspects of business ethics are connected. Theory-based and Application-based: All chapters have important applicable theories integrated with discussion of how such theories apply in practice. Unlike other texts that are either too theoretical or too practical, this text provides the appropriate blend of theory and practice to provide deeper insights into the concepts covered in the chapter. Global Perspective: Unless most other texts, this text provides a global perspective on business ethics. Most chapters include material pertaining to ethics in global contexts. Included are cases about companies in a wide range of countries including Japan, U.K., China and India among many others. Cases: The text contains over 30 real world global cases. Each chapter ends with a short two page case as well as a longer case that varies in length. Each has discussions questions at the end. Finally each of the four parts ends with a Comprehensive Case; proven teaching cases from The Ivey School and other sources.

Book excerpt: This illuminating and practical collection of essays addresses the increasingly important topics of corporate ethics, social responsibility, and sustainability in the context of effective global business strategies. Instead of condemning business, or exhorting corporate leaders to "do good," the authors deal with the "hot button" issues of our time in a cool and rational manner, seeing them as opportunities rather than as problems. As the authors illustrate, there is no necessary trade-off between business leaders doing the right thing, on one hand, and the profitable thing, on the other. They demonstrate that ethics is not peripheral, or in addition to, the central concerns of business. To the contrary, ethics and good citizenship are at the heart of all good business strategies, decisions, and organizational cultures. These essays offer useful examples of how executives can create strategies and cultures that are, both and at the same time, ethical and effective--the essence of GOOD BUSINESS.

Book excerpt: This book has been designed to meet the requirements of HR professional, Executives who are performing their jobs at Corporate offices and students studying at schools and colleges, and moreover who are running Group of Companies, Group of Institutions and other educational and financial establishment in the different parts of India or abroad. It would be helpful for all who are dealing with Personality profession as a whole in the HRM Sectors. It will help in making right person for right position.The present book is a novel attempt to cover a wide range of the problems of Ethical Principles in the segment of personnel Development in the human different kinds of the world. This book faces very busy ideological preparedness in my life. It is in the context of managerial work that we have studied this aspect of Ethics Principles, but in this book it has by no means limited to that context. Busy idleness is a disease that affects everybody and pervades every aspect of life. Active non-action is the word that I would like to explain here.In our professional life, we always face problems in the shape of daily problem solving activities. Problems require a big picture perspective--which means reflection, systematic planning, creative thinking and time. Operational activities squeeze important problems out. Daily routines, superficial behavior, poorly prioritized unfocused tasks leech managers` capacities- making unproductive business.The problem is not a lack of knowledge or resources. The real problem is that they simply do not do those things. They spend their time spinning their wheels, attending meetings and responding to every little query and problem. Management is "the art of getting things done." Managers must act themselves and mobilize collective action on the part of others. The gap between knowledge and action, stretches wide and few managers seem able to cross it. The kind of behavior that exhibited active non-action as it is called pervasive corporate "knowing-doing gap." Managers always complain about the problem of active non-action but have not fully understood the underlying dynamics.When driven by deep personal commitment to the goal that cuts out distractions and overcomes difficulties. The purposeful action is not a quick shuffle or mere flirtation with ideas. It is action taking to produce certain results with undivided resolve. Although external issues in an organization can make this kind of action taking difficulties. We are deeply indebted to all the Websites and Academicians, Researchers, HR professionals and all Managers who participated directly or indirectly in authoring this book, giving us generously not only their time but also their knowledge and perspectives.
