Explanation / Answer

Ethical issues in Business:

1. Due to increased emphasis on the business ethics over last three decades, this field is suffering and is troubled by the lack of proper directions and is struck in the issues like logic, reasons etc...

2. The past conception of the companies the ethical issues in business was related to the administration of rules, regulations in the organisations

3. Today, people from the top management level and the business owners have understood that this concept of ethical issues in business is far superior than the handling rules and regulations and their effective implementation

4. There are wide ranges of issues relating to the business ethics currently observed by the market analysts

5. Ethical issues can be varying in nature.

6. Types of issues:

In today’s connected, globalised business context all organisations can find themselves at risk of reputational damage and of having detrimental reports spread widely through social media channels to multiple audiences.

HR managers’ role in the ethical conduct within an organisation can feed in at various points:

In handling ethical problems HR managers need to appreciate the complexities involved, avoid escalation of the issue and protect against the emotional and reputational impact that can result from them. It is also increasingly important for HR managers to develop a global perspective on ethical issues.

Moral maxims can provided some initial guidance to managers confronting an ethical dilemma on the spot. These include: the ‘Golden Rule’ (act as you would wish others to act toward you); the ‘Silver Rule’ (never knowingly do harm); the ‘professional ethic’ (act only as would be considered proper by an objective panel of your professional colleagues); the ‘TV/newspaper/social media test’ (ask whether you would feel comfortable explaining your action in some type of media); ‘When in doubt, don’t’ (question an action about which you feel uneasy); ‘Kid/mother/founder on your shoulder’ (ask whether you could explain your action to them); the ‘slippery slope’ (do not engage in ethically questionable actions that could set a precedent for subsequently engaging in even more questionable actions); ‘examining how results are achieved’ (consider the means rather than the ends of an action); and ‘ethics is others’ (always consider others when making decisions)

The process starts with cultivating ethical awareness and sensitivity (Step 1) and then proceeds to identifying the ethical issues or questions (Step 2), articulating the stakeholders in the decision (Step 3), selecting an ethical theory or standards (Step 4), specifying alternatives and ethical analysis (Step 5), making and justifying a decision (Step 6) and finally monitoring the decision’s outcomes (Step 7).
