Don’t forget about the ethics of doing business

vices in the business world does not seem to decrease even tend to increase. The action marked up, player collusion and bribery, not heed the interests of the community, as well as concern for the environment is not an example of neglect towards entrepreneurs business ethics.

There could be asked, whether the business is indeed need to pay attention to ethics? Business and ethics are not two different things? Often there is a presumption that business ethics it only exists in theory, in reality, if you want money, often times we forget about ethics. Is it so?

Previously we must know the sense of ethics. Many definitions related to ethics. Ethics in contrast to law or regulation. If you break the law, sanctions are clearly either criminal or civil. While the sanctions are not violated ethics, obviously, just the sheer moral sanctions or penalties from the Almighty. Then, in violation of the ethics of means is not necessarily illegal. As a result, often the ethics of not so cared for.

Great Indonesian Language Dictionary says ethics is, “the science of what is good and what is bad and about the rights and obligations of moral (moral)”. According to Wikipedia ethics is the branch of philosophy that studies the main value or quality of the study of moral standards and assessment. But, according to John Calvin, the highest ethics from the creator of man. is

The law which God gave it provides freedom for human beings to truly become a whole person in accordance with the wishes of the creator. Supposedly, moral sanctions are generally not clear is the most severe sanctions for the faithful.

We often get caught up with what looks and placing it as something more valuable than things that are invisible. We didn’t realize that very many things that are invisible, but instead has a remarkable portion of large and important.

For example, a trader sells cameras camera with low quality or defects. Sellers managed to hide defects, so it is not known to the buyer. Seller reminding the buyer that the goods have been sold there can be exchanged or returned. After some time, shoppers complain and ask to replace it. The seller argued that time happens a transaction the goods just fine.  the seller.

Legally it could be true. But, from the side of business ethics, is clearly wrong. From the beginning the seller actually knows there is but did not inform the buyer. In the short term, businesses that don’t pay attention to ethics might bring in a profit. But, in the long term, will form the opinion of the community about the store, which sells merchandise is damaged or defective. Slowly the buyer tends to decrease. So, it is only ethical sanctions take the form of moral sanctions and new look in the long run.

The above example shows that ethics is important. In a simple business ethics can be defined as the rules of the game are not binding, because it is not the law. However, in everyday business ethics business practices can be a guideline for business activities that are run.

Business ethics waiver not only impacted the loss for the community, but also for national economic order. It is realized or not, the entrepreneurs who don’t pay attention to business ethics will destroy their name. Proverb says, “a dead Elephant tusks, Tigers die leaving leave the coat”. When a person dies, she will leave him. The problem is what is done during his life.

Many people who pursue “fast money and easy money” with all power, not even thinking of others. Whether people will commemorate its name because of the many money owned? May his name be corrupted because many people harmed during his life. We have to work well, care about the other person or the nature around, so that also the reputation we remembered well later

Business at the time was only based on trust individuation. Not convoluted and complicated like now. We could see the simplicity in it, keep it Simple the best. However, as the “progress” of the times, any ethical moral standards decline is remarkable. Ethics is often easily be violated because the individual’s ego, ungovernable in this case is the greedy businesses.
