SUMMARY

The name of the book is “THE POWER OF ETHICAL MANAGEMENT.” Written by Kenneth Blanchard and Norman Peale. The main motive which encouraged the author to write the book was in 1988, the ethics in business was the most urgent problem faced by America. The book written by the authors proved, you don’t have to cheat to win, it shows today’s managers, ‘how to bring integrity back to the work place?’ It gives hard-hitting practical, ethical strategies that build profits, productivity and long term success. In this book there is a sales manager facing the problem of appointing a sales representative. For these, he discusses with the people having different opinions who offers him different advices which has confused him and sent him under the pressure. He was in complete dilemma that how to overcome these problem? One of the advices he comes across is to appoint that person. But the other opinion was, it will be an unethical practice i.e. if you appoint this person he may cheat you in future. The reason for not appointing that person was that he had already cheated the X Company by getting all the confidential information, in the company where he was an employee. Now getting all these suggestions he was under dilemma because he was an ethical person. After that he met an advisor who was a positive thinker. The advisor asked him,” How do you behave ethically when there are so many pressures to not to do so”. Now he suggested the manager to learn the five core principles of ethical decision making, which the advisor calls as “THE FIVE P’s OF ETHICAL POWER”. The five core principles of ethical behavior are also the principles that are genuine, lasting for fulfillment in life. Highly successful, satisfied individuals practice these FIVE P’s with great consistency”. On these he raised a question that, ‘What are they? He replied that, the FIVE P’s of ethical power are

1)      PURPOSE2)      PRIDE3)      PATIENCE4)      PERSISTENCE5)      PERSPECTIVE

ETHICAL PRATICES IN BUSINESS GROUP NO.3.

The 1 st principle of ethical power is ;

PURPOSE : It means your objective orientation is something towards which you are always striving. The simple e.g. to know your purpose is to use mirror test Can you tell me what mirror test is? The Sales manager asked. The mirror test is a test where you stand in front of a mirror and stare in the eyes of the person, when you are right you can look yourself straight in the eye. But when you disregard your purpose and do something that you know is wrong, you won’t feel good about yourself. No matter how much rationalize your action, you will feel uncomfortable. “So a clear purpose is a foundation of upon which sound ethical behavior is built”. Now the 2nd principle is PRIDE : It is the sense of satisfaction that you get from your accomplishments, you should feel good about yourself. To hold your purpose you must believe in yourself and have your faith in your abilities. For an instance, to have pride we should believe in ourselves by being friend of yourself and avoid the people who always think negative and put you down. Now the 3rd is PATIENCE Once you have a clear purpose and pride than the 3rd principle ‘PATIENCE’ is directly achieved. It means patience is everything that should not happen right now, it will take some time to achieve purpose. For e.g., if we want to plant a tree, in these case we should have patience because if we dig out the plant every day to check out the growth of the plant, it will not grow. For the growth of the tree, it will take sometime to grow so we should have patience to wait for the result. Patience is necessary but without the next principle i.e. PERSISTENCE it’s not sufficient to keep on track. In term of ethical behavior persistence means to stick to your purpose, keeping your commitments and making your action consistent with your guiding principles. For e.g. WINSTON CHURCHILL, good speakers said, ‘NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP’. This was the attitude that inspired England to fight in World War 2nd, to continue to fight when others have surrendered. Now after getting the above 4 principles clear the last most important principle is

PERSPECTIVE: It means to listen to your inner self, see things more clearly and to decide what is really important in a given situation. That’s why the advisor says that the five principles are as wheels with perspective as the hub around which the other P’s rotate. At last the manager cleared with his 5 P’s of ethical power which helped him to take a right decision. The decision was not to select the candidate because he was thinking of future achievements and not short term goals. From this book, we come to know that by adopting the ethical principles the image of the organization develops amongst the society as well as it would expand their business along with consumer satisfaction. It avoids consumer exploitation. But in India one doesn’t practice ethical principles. But from long-term perspectives, company will do better by following ethical principles.

INTERPRETATION

“The real meaning of the word ethics goes far beyond that. The oxford dictionary defines it as the science of morals in human conduct, a moral principle or code.”

So the word ethics encompasses the entire spectrum of human conduct. Business ethics encompass how a person in business deals with employees, associates of all kinds.

No business can really go to state of sickness if done honestly. There is always a margin available with which the business can sustain. The senior management of the company is often seen using company’s money for their own purpose. The companies doing very well at one time are seen to be in red. Often the main reason is seen the purposeful misuse of the funds.

Also it is seen that when the stock market booms, many scrupulous business persons make public issue of the equity and float a new company. These people take money from innocent public and bank. After 2 to 3 years these companies are out of scene. In the boom of 1992-93 many innocent people lost their funds.

The term ethics refers to a code of conduct that guides an individual while dealing with other. It relates to the social rules and cardinal values that motivate people to be honest in dealing with other. Such ethical rules are determined largely by customs, traditions and fairness are universal and stable over centuries.

Ethics directs human behaviour and also differentiates between good and bad, right and wrong and between fair and unfair human behaviour and actions. It creates decency and discipline in the behaviour of individuals and also in the society.

The term ethics “is derived from the greek word ethos which refers to character. According to Webster dictionary, ethical means conforming to professional standard of conduct. Ethical action means an action, which is socially and morally good. Such actions are fair and not harmful to others. According to hurtly, ethics can be defined as system of moral values. It is concerned with that branch of philosophy, which deals with values relating to human conduct.

MBA (FULL TIME) SEMESTER I 10

ETHICAL PRATICES IN BUSINESS GROUP NO.3.

Business ethics relates to the application of ethical or moral values to business activities. It deals with morality in business. Business activities need to be conducted as per well-recognized standards. Business ethics suggests a code of conducts, which businessmen should follow while dealing with fellow businessmen and others including customers, employees and local community. It suggests that businessmen should be fair to all social groups and give them satisfaction and welfare. It tells what is good and what is bad in business. Businessmen should support fair business practices and avoid the practices, which are socially undesirable.

Every professional activity has its own ethical standards. Similarly, business has its ethical standards. Businessmen should follow them standards so that business will expand, get public support and will be useful to consumers and other social groups.

Business ethics suggests certain rules (code of conduct) which are fair to all and should be followed by businessmen.

Definitions:(1)According to wheeler, “business ethics is an art or science of maintaining

harmonious relationship with society, its various groups and institutions as well as reorganising the moral responsibility for the rightness or wrongness a/business conduct.”

(2)Dr. C. B. Mamoria and dr. Satish Mamoria, defines business ethics as ‘ businessman’s integrity so far as his conduct or behavior is concerned in oilfields of business as well as towards the society and other business”

Ethical practices: Business practices may be ethical or unethical. Ethical practices are different from unethical. Ethical means as per certain well recognised social rules and cardinal values. Business practices which are legally, morally and social fair and consumer friendly are ethical practices. Such practices are beneficial to all social groups. Ethical practices are not harmful to business as well as to different social group for example,to supply goods regularly, to charge fair prices, to pay fair wages to workers, to give them decent treatment and welfare facilities and to give fair return to shareholders (investors)are fair/ethical business practices. Such practices promote social welfare and create goodwill for the business. They also facilitate the expansion of business activities. Consumers always support ethical business pratices.

Business practices which are not fair (legally, socially and morally) are treated as unfair/unethical business practices. Unethical practices are used for exploiting cheating consumers and other social groups. They are used for profit maximization at the cost of social good. Unethical practices bring bad name and public criticism to business. Such practices are harmful to the growth of business. They also lead to social control on business. Consumers are against unethical practices as such practices are harmful and dangerous to consumers.

Unethical practices Unethical practices relate to consumers, employees, shareholders, government and the society at large. The purpose is to exploit the specific social group for profiteering. For example, artificial scarcity, price rise,adulteration,misleading advertising are unethical practices in the case of consumers while low wages, bad working conditions and absence of welfare facilities are unethical practices in regard to employees. Usual unethical business practices used in India are as noted below:

Supplying inferior quality good to consumers. Charging high prices by creating artificial scarcity for profit maximization. Giving false, confusing and misleading advertisements of the

products/services. Adulteration and short weights and measures. Misbranding, hoarding and black-marketing. Supplying inadequate information on the packages.

IMPORTANCE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND VALUES The need for business ethics is more felt in recent years than ever before. The following points outline the importance of business ethics:

(1) Survival of business: business needs to follow ethical values for its own good and survival. A firm cans short-term and quick gains by resorting to unethical means and disregarding social welfare. However, such firms grow fast and are out of business faster. On the other hand, organisation doing business ethically have continued to survive and prosper for a long time.

(2) Protection of consumer rights: the application of business ethics will help to confer and implement consumer right. This will enhance the strength of individual consumer against the powerful business community. Business ethics can be used to check malpractices like adulteration, unfair trade practices and to make the working of business consumer oriented.

(3) Consideration of society’s interest: those firms, which follow business ethics in the society, would make every possible effort to produce well and services not only in the interest of the consumers, but also in the interest of the society. These firms would look in to not only the customers’ well being, but also welfare of the society. Therefore, they would make every possible effort to produce eco-friendly products.

(4) Interest of small-scale industry: business ethics is necessary to safeguard the interest of small-scale business firms. The tendency of big business units is always to dominate the market and drive away the small and medium scale units from the market. Small-scale units can establish their position and firth for their rights if the industry follows a code of ethics.

(5) Better relations with members of the society: business ethics is needed to develop good relationship between business and society. The relationship of business with society has various dimensions such as its relations shareholder, employees, consumers, distributors, competitors and government. Ethics is needed to maintain good relation among the firms on one side and between the firm and social groups on other. Business ethics will help to promote and protect the interest of various groups, associated with business activities.

(6) Mutual benefit: business ethics benefits the business firm as well as the society the business firm that adopts business ethics get good name in the society. It may be able to increase confidence in the minds of the buyers who in turn would help to improve the sales of the firm. The society can also gain due to ethical practices on the part of the business. For instance, the consumers can benefit by way of quality goods at right prices, the employees can get fair treatment, and so on.

(7) Other benefits:* Business ethics will help the firm to expand and grow.* It can motivate the employees to perform better.* It can develop customer loyalty.* It can help to obtain funds easily from the investors.

INDIAN CONTEXT: The following points indicate the position of business ethics in India:

(I) limited attention to business ethics: in India, the principles of business ethics were incorporated in our ancient culture. however, at present, the business community does not give them much importance and attention in general.

(ii) Unethical practices are used extensively: in India, the business community in general has failed to understand the importance of customers. Businessmen use various unethical practices for exploiting/cheating consumers, employees, shareholder and others connected with the business directly or indirectly.

(iii) Businessmen are severely criticized due to their unethical practices: businessmen gives too much importance to profit-making and desire to maximize profit even at the cost of consumer in India, businessmen has to face severe public criticism on government controls due to their unethical practices. Businessmen have been accused of scandals, bribery, tax evasion, illegal payments to politicians and environmental pollution.

(iv) Businessmen have limited respect in the society: it is up to the businessmen to improve their social image by honouring business ethics. This situation also suggests the urgent need for the introduction of ethical standards in India business.

(v) Businessmen take undue interest in socially undesirable activities: Indian businessmen are sometimes engaged in morally and socially undesirable activities. We have mass scale corruption in the country. Businessmen are partly responsible for using corrupt practices. Tax evasion, bribing government servants, links with antisocial element and donations to political parties/election funds are some more undesirable activities in which businessmen are involved.

Page 17: Ethical practise

ETHICAL PRATICES IN BUSINESS GROUP NO.3.

(vi) Socially conscious and progressive businessmen support ethical business: many of our businessmen are lured by fast-buck culture, i.e., to earn as much money and as fast as possible. However, there are some cultured businessmen who respect and follow business ethics with honesty. Tatas, Godrej, L$T are some companies which give protection to consumers, liberal wages and other facilities to employees, attractive dividend to shareholders, positive contribution to pollution control, ecological balance and community service activities.

(vii) Indian business must be made ethical: Indian business need to be made ethical. Legislation will not be useful for achieving this objective. Ethics cannot be enforced by law or by compulsion. The desire to follow business ethics must come from within. Businessmen in general should accept the basic principle of “good ethics is good business”.

MAHARASHTRA STATE ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY LTD. (MSEDCL)

Mr. B. R. Dhawale.GM (ESTT)

I am now working as GM (ESTABLISHMENT). I am looking after the work of establishment of non-technical employees. The activities involved are transfer, promotions, claims, performance, appraisal etc.

In the change scenario we are finding difficult to cope with the working of company culture

The thing is that we are having commercial attitude that’s why we have to think of the profit.

There are some subordinate which have do ethical practice because I am the head.

In every corner of field we are taking experience that is LPG (liberalization, privatization and globalization) has taken place and so many challenges are before them you should study the change going on.

CONCLUSIONOur overall view by visiting the organization is that first we had struggled a lot to reach the person but after listening to his views we found that the question asked by us to the Person was not up to the mark because he was really a professional viewer and he gave Us the straight forward answer in a calm manner. It was not difficult to interview a person like Mr. Dhawale because he was co-operative and he also gave the answer which we were not expecting from a general manager in a public sector. At last we conclude that having an interview with Mr. Dhawale has given us a back-up and the knowledge that a person can follow ethical practice at a individual level but Now a days there is so much competition so it is really difficult to have ethical practice in the business but we can try it sometimes because it will be wrong that we totally ignore the fact of ethical management.

the head should practice the honest thing You should accomplish your job with honestly let the other person do it any

way you should not follow their food steps.

CONCLUSIONAs a conclusion we can add that Mr. Khan hadn’t satisfied us with the answer because never the way we were finding an ethical person but not like this because there was answers which were not given by confidence and that made us confused about the things at last the thing here was you should follow ethical practice.

Mr. NEKLIKAR.EE (EXECUTIVE ENGINEER)

We are dealing with transmission planning projects that is various working which are on going projects. That’s why the workers needs material to be procured in the market they plan that further others plans for proper electricity distribution is going on.

No not at all. Instead of having number of problem we solve it. The one thing I just want to say it is the first character of the person who is

the working that is it. Yes, many are there one is Mr. Bhosikar my colleague and there are many

ethical person in my staff. I want to tell that the person who are working do not believe that they are

loyal but at the same time do not let them feel that they are not loyal because if a person is doing any unethical practice there is some reason behind it try to rectify that reason not the person because it can harm your relations sometime.

CONCLUSIONThe answer given by Mr. NEKLIKAR was very satisfying and we felt that having interview with this person has gone up to the mark for the first time. Because being responsible employees he was performing the duty to give us the answer according to the company image and being and individual he has suggested the reference to be used in future. At last we can conclude that Mr. NEKLIKAR had really helped us by giving such a combination of answers and from this we can easily recognize that ethical management can be followed now also at a individual level and then it can be spread through the organization.
