5. SOCIAL ETHICS
Social ethics are not supposed to be a
detailed list of rules to be applied in any
given situation . They are meant to act as a
guide by setting the ground rules for what
society deems acceptable . The welfare of
society as a whole is put ahead of the
interests of any individual , and this helps to
ensure that every one is kept accountable
by each other……..

6. Many countries have A LANGUAGE POLICY
DESIGNED TO FAVER OR DISCOURGE THE USE OF
A PARTICULAR LANGUAGE OR SET OF LANGUAGES
. ALTHOUGH NATIONS HISTORICAL HAVE USED
LANGUAGE POLICIES MOST OFTEN TO PROMOTE
ONE OFFICIAL LANGUAGE AT THE EXPENSES OF
OTHERS , MANY COUNTRIES NOW HAVE POLICIES

and ethnic languages whose viability is
threatened. Indeed , whilst the existence of
linguistic minorities within their jurisdiction has

certain prevailing social ethic. So every person who
lives in the society with members must be willing to
obey all kinds of rules and regulation. The goal of to
establish a harmonious life,especially with other
community members.
• Every action we take must be accordance with
the prevailing social ethic in the area. This applies
globally wherever we live. Whether it’s in the western
hemisphere,east,south or north. Each has its own rule
to maintain the good life in his neighborhood.

8. Why should A Business Organization Have
Social Ethics
• Ethics concern an individual’s moral
judgements about the right or wrong. Decision
taken within an organization may be made by
individuals or groups,but whoever makes them
is influenced by the culture of the company.
The decision to behave ethically is a moral
one,employees must decide what they think is
the right course of action. Ethical behaviour
and corporate social responsibility can bring
significant benefits to a business.

9. • For example -

• 2. Reduce labour turnover and therefore
increase productivity.
• 3. Reduce recruitment costs and enable to
company to get more employees.
• 4. Attract investors and keep the company’s
share price high.
• Unethical behaviour may be damage a firm’s
reputation. So Ethical behaviour is an integral part of
a business organization.

10. Here are few examples of
companies which have high ethical
values in their organization

11. 1. Microsoft
• Given the fact that it was started by Bill Gates, one of America's
most generous philanthropists, it follows
that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) would do well in following his
example. The tech company and its employees donate over $1
billion yearly to charities and non-profit organizations. If that wasn't
enough, Microsoft's management and employee's have also
decided to tackle America's IT professionals shortage through its
TEALS program. Through the TEALS program, Microsoft employees
are encouraged to volunteer at local schools to instruct students in
computer science, in the hopes that it will inspire them to enter the
technology industry. It's only natural that Microsoft employees
would be generous people; in addition to being among the highest
paid employees in America, they also enjoy a plethora of perks,
including 100% coverage on their health care premiums.

12. 2. Google
• Although some may criticize the company, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)
regularly makes good on its motto: "Don't be evil." Through
its Google Green Program, the company has donated over $1 billion
to renewable energy projects, and has decreased its own footprint
by using energy efficient buildings and public transportation. The
company is also a staunch advocate of free speech, which can be
observed from its frequent conflicts with the Chinese government.
Google is also an open supporter of gay rights. Yet all this pales in
comparison to Google's status as a paragon for employee benefits.
Just to name a few, Google employees have access to free health
care and treatment from on-site doctors, free legal advice with
discounted legal services, a fully stock snack pantry and onsite
cafeteria (staffed by world-class chefs, no less), and a free on-site
nursery. With such a stellar record of social awareness and positive
employee relations, Google is easily the best example of ethics in
the corporate world today.

13. Who is manager??
• Manager is a person responsible for
organizing, controlling and administrating an
organization or group of staff.
• Since a business requires the support of
society to run itself smoothly. Similarly, it is
the responsibility of the business to take some
responsibility of the society. Social
responsibility and business ethics are often
considered as the same concepts
