Main Subject - Essentials of Business Ethics
Traditionally, business ethics was considered to be a very controversial notion because even nowadays some people believe that it is a cornerstone of any future more or less prospective company’s strategy while others perceive it like an oxymoron. Personally, I think that business ethics have to be developed yet and, unfortunately, it is mainly the question philosophers or social critics are worried about but not those who are in the center of i
According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
ts attention, namely businessmen, managers, employees, etc. As far as I understand, the relations between all participants of a business process have to be controlled and regulated by some ethical norms because business ethics has an overwhelming influence on so many process in a company, and these processes can have not only interior but exterior character as well.

One more thing I would like to emphasize is the growing importance of business ethics in the future because moral standards and ethical norms became more and more important in our society and this trend will only progress accompanying the social development. Unfortunately, not all of businessmen and top managers realize this fact and they do not treat the problem of the business ethics seriously. Moreove

here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe
aws. Despite the fact that we shouldn’t equate these two notions, I mean ethics, or it is better to say the lack of it, and the violation of laws, because immoral or unethical doesn’t necessarily mean illegal, it is still quite evident that the latter may be a logical consequence of the former. In other words if decisions contradicting to ethical norms are acceptable within a company or for some members of this company it wouldn’t be a great sur

prise for me if soon this company or any of its staff will break the law. So I believe that the roots of a crime lie in the moral decay of a personality or the whole social group. Probably, that is exactly what happened to the Enron at large, and to some of its top executives in particular. Now I’ll try to describe briefly the collapse of this company, find out its causes and comment on it.

of a serious ethical conflict, namely it is a presence of 1) significant value conflicts of interests of different people or groups of people, 2) real alternatives that are justifiable, and, finally, 3) significant consequences on ‘stakeholders’ in the situation (Madsen and Shafritz, 1990). Practically all of these markers may be found in the Enron situation, particularly the third one. So, what was the starting point of the disaster as it is c
easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi
alled by many because it is one of the most serious and biggest financial scandals in history? Now it is evident that the crisis had begun after the company reported about huge debts. Certainly, an investigation had been started and not surprisingly that very soon top executives were under suspect. It is not a secret anymore that top executives hide debts because they were trying to sustain the permanent growth of their company on the market an
nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically
to increase the value of its shares in order to earn more money for them despite a very probable bankruptcy. They organized a very subtle web of transaction which helped them to hide millions of dollars of debts of the company as well as they also used for the same purposes complex financial partnerships. Moreover, the Enron executives profited from the situation and sold their shares in the nick of time just before the company failure.

ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi
uite natural to presuppose that one person couldn’t organize such a complicated system of transactions without any other executive or manager knowing. Another person responsible for the Enron crisis is a former Enron chief executive Jeff Skilling. But what seems to me the most shocking, immoral, and absolutely unethical is the fact that one more chief executive of the company Kenneth Lay was extensively informed and warned by middle-managers abo

It is even surprising, to some extent, that having such chief executives there still were some people who were fully aware of the danger for stockholders and tried to prevent the catastrophe. Probably, these people had those moral principles that are necessary for normal work of any company in the modern world and I think if they headed the Enron they could save it.

I’d like to analyze ethical part of the problem because I believe that the lack of business ethics finally led to the numerous frauds and the legal crisis in the company. So, what could be done to prevent the Enron collapse? One of the possible ways to prevent it was the Ethical Code of the compa

To create an effective Ethical Code all members of the company everyday life should work on the project of such a code. Only this condition could provide that written regulations and principles would work in real life because all opinions would be taken into account.

I want to say that it seems to me that the main aim of those who were responsible for the Enron failure was just to make more money regardless the fact that other stockholders could lose their life savings. I think it is absolutely unacceptable in business because nobody can get richer and richer and, in the meantime, lead his or her own company to the collapse. On the one hand it is absolutely immoral, on the other hand it is a serious crime t

So, it is evident that a priori modern business, and leading executives of any company should care about prosperity of the company and society but not only about there own financial success.
