Business ethics and just an ethics.

Last week there was one thing happened. We split into groups of five persons on a lesson, and started discussing the topics of our thesis works. And all of a sudden a very interesting dispute between me from one side and Benita from Germany with Alexandra from Moldova from another.

The disagreement was in the following topic: what is business ethics and what is it for? I won’t dwell on my opponents’ point of view – still it’s my blog – and express my own one.

I think and I’m really sure that the mission of EVERY business, of an any private company – to earn wad. The more you have – the better you are. And there’s no limit for a Real businessman.

Note. When I say “ethics” I mean the set of certain rules of behaviour. The one to follow these rules is good, pretty and wonderful. And these rules are constant, as the definitions what is good and bad.

So, every REAL businessman puts is own interests higher than the interests of whoever at all. That is why it is in businessman’s nature to cheat competitors, state, consumers, and employers – everyone at all – to make money. If it is profitable for a businessman to sell a high-quality product – he’ll do it with enormous pleasure. But if the product is harmful, but there is profit out of sales –businessman will sell it regardless of anything. It’s because of that to be good for state, workers, consumers – it is not a primary target for a business, as it’s in fashion to write in manuals about. TO make business good for a state and society is the primary goal for exactly a state and society. These institutions must push business within the ethical behaviour and make them run its business ethically. To speak about business ethics and corporate social responsibility is the same as speaking about a vegetarian shark, or herbivorous wolf.
