Business ethics (also known as Corporate ethics) is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and business organizations as a whole. Applied ethics is a field of ethics that deals with ethical questions in many fields such as medical, technical, legal and business ethics. Business ethics can be both a normative and a descriptive discipline. As a corporate practice and a career specialization, the field is primarily normative. In academia descriptive approaches are also taken. The range and quantity of business ethical issues reflects the degree to which business is perceived to be at odds with non-economic social values. Historically, interest in business ethics accelerated dramatically during the 1980s and 1990s, both within major corporations and within academia. For example, today most major corporate websites lay emphasis on commitment to promoting non-economic social values under a variety of headings (e.g. ethics codes, social responsibility charters). In some cases, corporations have redefined their core values in the light of business ethical considerations (e.g. BP's "beyond petroleum" environmental tilt). From Wikipedia under the

Answered by Pef - Tue Aug 11 09:17:19 2009 Business ethics..? Q. Should waste disposal be treated simply as an economic issue, to be resolved throught private market exchange, or should government regulations place greater responsibility on producers for the entire life cycle of products? Asked by Eu_Revoir - Thu Mar 13 00:10:08 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is a question that is best answered by both of your polar-opposite suggestions. The private sector would best handle it efficiently. However, there is still the issue of toxic and hazardous waste. In the past, companies dumped hazardous waste near neighborhoods before having to answer to government regulation. Government regulation is supposed to be there to protect its citizens. This issue requires a bit of a balanced approach. Answered by Benjamin - Thu Mar 13 01:09:53 2008 Do the business ethics of an establishment affect your purchase decision ?
