ETHICS FOR INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT

Introduction

Unfortunately, people belonging to the modern era have misconstrued the primary concept of morals and ethics to a substantial extent. According to their cognitive potential, morals and ethics are primarily confined to religious boundaries only, and even their acknowledgement and practices fall in the same respective domain. Seldom do they understand that the substantiality of the morals and ethics plays a vital role in almost every aspect of a person's life. The sheer acknowledgement or rejection of ethics and the implementation or the refusal by a person in his life, can totally change the course of his actions and the path of his present and future life.

Similarly, the factor of ethics and morals, have a substantial implication in the domain of business, as well. As discussed earlier, every aspect of human life bears the necessity of the comprehension of ethics; therefore, the domain of business denotes the practical stage of a person's life, where an individual embarks on the practical dealing and affairs. This is deemed to be the most critical part of a person's life and the significance of the inclusion of the morals and ethics in one's actions and intentions is not as vital in any stage, as in this one.
