This source talks about how businesses mold employee behavior
as well as create a vision and business practices that are in line
with the best ethical business practices. In the book, Kenneth G.
talks about how businesses should be aware of their ethical
environments and surroundings such as how each employee is
behaving towards a fellow employee or to an external party such
as a supplier or a customer. The businesses should also be
aware of the current regulatory environment that govern ethical
standards by companies and its employees. The book also talks
about the extent at which managers take to ensure ethical
principles are followed and how they should deal with unethical
acts within their businesses.
This source is useful for my project because of the following
reasons, it will enable me to identify the various ways
businesses can do to mold the behaviors of employees so as to
ensure adherence to ethical practices. An example can include
employee training. The source will also help me to identify
unethical practices that occur within organizations regularly.
They can include theft by employees or employees revealing
company and customer information to third parties. I also came
to understand how government and company regulations are set
to ensure adherence to ethical standards and to ensure an ethical
culture is created amongst employees. This source fits with
other sources because it discusses business ethics in a corporate
as well as government level.

BUSINESS ETHICS PROPOSAL 1

4. Business Ethics Proposal
MY NAME SCHOOL
Business Ethics in the recent past has been a force to reckon
with in the business world. The interaction between buyers,
sellers and suppliers is founded on some ethical practices that
need to be upheld, if the relationship between the parties is
anything to go by. Both sides of the bargain are expected to
maintain a code of conduct to enhance the relationship between
the parties. However, this has only been but an ideal scenario.
Practically, a huge number of unethical practices are reported
annually in various sectors. Notably, these are just but reported
cases of unethical practices going on in the business world, the
number could be higher if the many cases that go unreported
were all to be included in the research. Failing to attain the
code of conduct is generally referred to as unethical business
ethics.
In the current world, maintaining a high level of business ethics
is utterly critical for the success of any organization. Both
parties that interact in the business world are required to exhibit
the highest level of ethical standards. For businesses in the

5. world today, maintaining a high level of business ethics is
critical for the prosperity of the business. Business ethics is
practicable in the simple interactions between businesses and
their customers; for instance, in customer support, meeting the
customers’ expectations, abiding by the standards set by various
institutions, among several other factors (Johansen & Byrian,
2010). The respect of a firm or a business unit in an industry is
largely based on its ability to maintain a healthy and ethical
relationship between such a company and the consumers who
depend on its products and services.
The topic of business ethics is a very extreme yet very sensitive
at the same time. It calls for an in depth and very critical
analysis. Without the two previously mentioned ingredients,
handling this topic is but a pipe dream. With full awareness of
the nature of the topic and with an in-depth understanding of the
relevant factors associated with the topic, I believe I am well
positioned to comfortably handle the volatility and sensitivity
of the topic. My conduct with regards to the applicability of
ethics in day to day activities also put me in a good position to
discuss this very sensitive issue (Kenneth, 2011). Furthermore,
having analyzed the business world for quite so long, I feel
better placed to research into the discussion on business ethics.
As business ethics is a wide topic, I have a great effort ahead of
me to gather all the relevant information in order to come up
with conclusive research. The majority of the work in this
research is intensely founded on both the business world as well
as the generally accepted social morals. A combination of the
two previously mentioned factors form the accepted standards
of conducting business. The research will therefore have to seek
the opinions and commentaries from various scholars in the
business world as well as specialists in ethics. The research will
be informed by various sources such as text book, case studies,
reports, scholarly online sources such as the Harvard Business

6. Review, among a variety of other factors. All these are set to
ensure that the authenticity of this research is guaranteed and
that all the information included in the final research are not
only up to date but also well referenced.
