Ethic for
International Negotiator
This afternoon I will explain a very important
topic that I saw in class and found an extra information that will help you to
understand more the topic of Ethics in a business environment because nowadays
a company doesn’t have to worried about only with the costumers there are more:
direct contact with company we have employees, supplier, costumers, stakeholders,
distributors, government, competition and if the company expand its limits to
others country these multiply by two.
The first thing I want to share is the differences
between too way to see the ethics the Relativism and Universalism .The first
one is when we judge something depending our legal and social standards for
example in here in Colombia to past a traffic light in red or go over the speed
limit could be not as bad as for example a country of Europe other example that
is controversial is the adultery in the men of having many wife’s. In the other
hand we have universalism that is the opposite is not judge based on you
culture if not we have universal “rules” one example in my opinion in an
organization context could be to steal something in the company. With the globalization
and the MNEs the tendency is to Universalism
I want to share 12 principles of ethics
that I found for business and executives that are (Josephson,
2015) :
- Be
honest in your communication
- Integrity
means that the words that you mean the same than your actions
- Keep
promises and fulfill commitments
- Be loyal within the framework of other ethical
principles
- do not exercise power arbitrarily
- Demonstrate compassion and a genuine concern
for the well-being of others
- Treat everyone with respect, doesn’t matter who you are
- Follow the rules
- Pursue excellence all the time in all things
- Exemplify honor and ethics by your actions and
being a leader
- Build and protect and build the company’s good
reputation and the morale of it’s employees
- Be responsible for the rules are followed
Lets see a video about a topic that is related with this,, Corporate Social Responsibility
I want to share the definition that I
found in Investopedia of business ethics:
“The study of proper
business policies and practices regarding potentially controversial issues,
such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination,
corporate social responsibility and fiduciary responsibilities. Business ethics
are often guided by law, while other times provide a basic framework that
businesses may choose to follow in order to gain public acceptance”
How we can manage Ethic in an Organization?
Looking for the
answer I found that is can be managed with different strategies, for example
creating ethics management program writing down what is ethical and unethical
for the company .Other way is to create a codes of conduct for the employees
for all the company. On that could be very important is to communicate and use
the channel inside the company to promote Education, Model, Reward to these
Values and Standards (Josephson
Institute, 2015) .
To answer this question I also use a video to help the explanation.
