What are the ethical responsibilities of businesses

MGT5019-8 > Ethics in Society and Business > Week 2Syllabus ID: 32756Introduction:Role of Ethics in BusinessWhat are the ethical responsibilities of businesses? Should a business just look out for its ‘bottom line,’ or should it look out for its employees,customers, community, and the environment too? How far along each spectrum should it progress? When a business operates in a third­world country, is it morally obligated to pay wages that would be considered fair in America, or is the company doing enough if it abides bylocal laws and regulations? As Jennings (2012, p. 45) notes, the study of business ethics is not what is legal, but of the application of ethicsto business decisions. Some businesses simply adopt an ethical standard of following the law. If it’s legal, then it is ethical is their standards.However, many actions well within the law still raise ethical issues (Jennings, 2012, p. 47).1.

The support team was available upon request. For the past two semesters I have been stressing on receiving my assignments on expected achievement dates. I value your service and hope that you all would improve your teamwork. I have been using this service now for 2-years and was totally satisfied. With this being said, I have spent at least a thousand plus dollars with this company. Knowing there are other competing companies that are on the market for a lot less than you guys are charging. "I trust that you all would get it together and avoid last minute communication which increases stress to the student."
