Document Summary
Ethics: the principles, norms, and standards of conduct governing an individual or group: f. skinner argues that all behavior is controlled, either intentionally or unintentionally; therefore, we need more intentional control of behavior. Organizations that neglect to intentionally teach their members ethical behavior (through direct management and organizational culture) may be tacitly encouraging unethical behavior through benign neglect. Ethical behavior in business: behavior that is consistent with the principles, norms, and standards of business practice that have been agreed upon by society. Most human decisions are based on ethical and emotional considerations as well as rational economic self-interest (the former often subsuming the latter). Spindle cells: unique type of neuron in the brain that lights up when people perceive unfairness or deception. Stakeholders: people who are affected by the business and its actions and who have an interest in what the business does and how it performs.
