The Corporate Ethics CommitteeIn some organizations, ethics is m.docxmehek4
The Corporate Ethics Committee
In some organizations, ethics is managed by a corporate committee staffed by seniorlevel
managers from a variety of functional areas. This committee is set up to provide
ethical oversight and policy guidance for CEO and management decisions.12 It also
represents an affirmation that top management really cares about ethics.
At Lockheed Martin, the Ethics and Business Conduct Steering Committee
meets once every quarter and has done so since 1995. The committee provides the
organization with strategic direction and oversight on matters of ethics and business
conduct. Each business area and business unit has also established a steering committee
to oversee its ethics and business conduct operations. Members of the corporate
committee include the general counsel (committee chairman), executives of large
operating entities, and vice presidents from functional areas such as human resources,
finance, audit, and communications. The two-way communication between the ethics
office and these senior executives is essential. It gives the ethics office information
about what concerns senior-level management, and it gives the firm’s leadership
information about the types of issues that are coming into the ethics office from
employees. The group’s role is viewed as strategic. The steering committees at all
levels of the corporation review the ethics awareness training and business conduct
compliance training programs, metrics on investigations and requests for guidance,
trends, employee survey results, and matters referred by the business areas and business
units.
COMMUNICATING ETHICS
Within the ethics infrastructure, good communication—downward, upward, and two way—
is essential if an organization is to have a strong, aligned ethics culture. The
organization must evaluate the current state of ethics communication and initiatives.
It must communicate its values, standards, and policies in a variety of formal and
informal ways that meet its employees’ needs. These communication efforts should
be synergistic, clear, consistent, and credible. They also need to be executed in a
variety of media, because people learn things in different ways. In general, the old
advice to speechwriters still holds. ‘‘Tell ’em what you’re going to tell ’em, then tell
’em, then tell ’em what you told ’em.’’ In addition to receiving downward communication
from management, employees must also have opportunities to communicate
their ethical concerns upward. Finally, an open communication environment must be
created that says it’s okay to ask questions, and it’s okay to talk about ethics. In the
following section, we begin with some corporate communications basics—principles
that should guide all ethics communication initiatives.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. Chapter 7:
Law, Ethics & Professionalism
AGENDA FOR TODAY:
1. Introduction to ETHICS
2. Legal aspects in PR Professionalism
2. PR’s Questionable Ethical Reputation
The very term “Public Relations” implies
unethical behaviour for some people
The late Harold Wilson, British Prime
Minister in the 1960s and 70s, is said to
have described PR as “organised lying”
Mydin CEO claimed “public relations
excellence are associated with negative
outcomes” (Starbizweek, Saturday, 21
November, 2009).

3. Why the stigma?
The critics probably perceive PR activities as
purely falling into the categories we have
previously described as Press
Agentry/Publicity and Two-way Asymmetrical
Much professional public relations work can
be characterised by those two models
QUESTION
• What is Press Agentry/Publicity ??
• What about Two-way Asymmetrical??
4. Defining Ethics
A value system for making decisions about what is
right or wrong in social conduct usually as
determined by standards of professions,
organizations, and individuals.
The conduct of individuals and organisations is
measured not only against their own consciences but
also in relation to societal and professional norms.
Different people, organisations and cultures
frequently have different standards of values.
5. Why Ethical Dilemmas are Especially
Common in PR
• PR frequently deals with highly controversial and sensitive
issues.
• PR deals with relationships on interpersonal, organisational
and societal levels.
• Often, there are conflicts between the needs and expectations
of diverse publics.
• E.g., employees, customers, shareholders, local
communities, pressure groups, government etc
• PR professionals must act as advocates of external and internal
publics & representing the interests of their organisations.
6. Ethics and Strategy
Practitioners learn to:
• Value ethics as part of a long-term strategy of
building a good name or image.
• Fully integrate public relations into decision making
functions to enhance good ethics.
7. Short Activity
• As a student, do you face or have been exposed to any ethical
dilemmas during your studies period?
• Please explain further

17. Why Does Ethics Matter to Public
Relations?
Public relations provides a link between ethical business
behaviour and increasing the chances of achieving
corporate objectives
Companies with good records on ethics and social
responsibility are likely to enjoy better public relations than
less ethical competitors.
• Good public relations creates a climate of acceptance for
organisations - a key source of competitive advantage
• Unethical companies may appear to succeed in the short-
run, but frequently find poor public relations is the long-
term penalty for their approach

and others which the corporation may come into conflict”.
• FOI Act Limits Privacy of Public Officials:
• Public officials and government enjoy much less privacy than do
individuals in the private sector due to the Freedom of Information
Act .
• Applies to:
• Opinions in settled cases.
• Statements of policy.
• Staff manuals affecting the public.

creative art] generally are owned by their creators –
individuals or organizations. They are subject to
protection under copyright and trademark law.
Copyright refers to the legal protection afforded to the

faces and/or with accompanying artwork
26. Ways on how public relations can protect
the trademarks of their clients

cause loss of trademark protection.
• Distribute trademark brochures to editors and reporters and
place advertisements in trade publications designating
names to be capitalized.
• Educate employees as to what the organization’s
trademarks are and how to use them correctly.
• Monitor the mass media to make certain that trademarks
are used correctly. If they are not, send a gentle reminder.

Contracts stipulate (agrees to a
condition in agreement…)
What each can do in the
relationship
