Ethical awareness
Generally speaking, Ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how to act rightly, honestly, and fairly in different situations. Ethics is the study of standards of conduct and moral judgment. Ethics is very important to exist in business because influences behavior and decision making. Managers should have a good understanding of ethics because they lead others based on their moral reasoning.
In my Mgnt 4165 (Human Resource Management) course, an assignment was given to us in which we had to use our moral reasoning to judge the unethical decisions that were made by Enron's company. There was a video shown displaying the events that took place. The assignment was to complete a case study with discussion questions. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room.
This assignment discusses the unethical behavior that Enron’s CEO and top management displayed. We were presented with the video of the incident. We were then exposed to the unethical behavior that Jeff Skilling and Ken Lay rationalized in order to cover up the deceit that was accumulated for years within the company. I think that this case assignment is the best representation of ethical awareness because it made me think about the ethical decisions that I would make if I were in their position. I believe that ethical awareness is very important because it can influence individuals to use their morals to make the right decisions.
