Social Responsibility & Ethics
Law and Ethics Ethics –  A set of moral principles or values that governs the conduct of an individual or a group. What is lawful conduct is not always ethical conduct. The law may permit something that would be ethically wrong.
What is ethical? Is it legal? Does it cause physical/psychological harm to anyone? Is it ok if everyone knows about it? Can “I” live with it for my whole life??
Theories of Social Responsibility Maximizing Profits Moral Minimum Stakeholder Interest Corporate Citizenship
Maximizing Profits A theory of social responsibility that says a corporation owes a duty to take actions that maximize profits for shareholders. The interests of other constituencies are not important in and of themselves.
Moral Minimum A theory of social responsibility that says a corporation’s duty is to make a profit while  avoiding harm to others . As long as business avoids or corrects the social injury it causes, it has met its duty of social responsibility.
Moral Minimum The legislative and judicial branches of government have established laws that enforce the moral minimum of social responsibility on corporations. e.g., Occupational safety laws e.g., Consumer protection laws for product safety
Stakeholder Interest A theory of social responsibility that says a corporation must consider the effects its actions have on persons  other than its stockholders . This theory is criticized because it is difficult to harmonize the conflicting interests of stakeholders.
Corporate Citizenship A theory of responsibility that says a business has a responsibility to do good for the society. Business is responsible for helping to solve social problems.
Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship
Introduction to Entrepreneurship There is tremendous interest in entrepreneurship  around the world According to the GEM 2005 study, about 330 million people, or 14% of the adults in the 35 countries surveyed, are involved in forming new businesses
What is Entrepreneurship? Capacity to take risks Ability to own and organize Desire and capability to innovate and diversify  (Stepanek, 1962)
Who is an entrepreneur? Person conducting own business  (Webster) Person who sets up business deals in order to make profits  (Collins Cobuild) Organizer of an economic venture, one who owns, organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of the business  (Chandrashekhar)
Why Become an Entrepreneur? There are three primary reasons that people become entrepreneurs and start their own firms Desire to be their own boss Financial rewards Desire to pursue their own ideas
Steps in the Entrepreneurial Process (1 of 2) Step 1 Step 2 Developing Successful Business Ideas
Steps in the Entrepreneurial Process  (2 of 2) Step 3 Step 4
Intrapreneurship Term coined by Pinchot in 1982 Term “corporate entrepreneurship” used more today Actually, “corporate entrepreneurship” has two parts Intrapreneurship – internal R&D Corporate venturing – external funding Neither method best – need both This class – some of both
