Most people learn from the TV series that businessmen
are mean and immoral, they can do what they want in order to
achieve the biggest profit. In reality, some businessman
indeed chase for the possible profit at the cost of being lack of
ethics, while others believe that business ethics helps further
success. I agree with the latter.
大部分人从电视剧上了解到商人是自私和不道德的，他们为了达到最大的利润，可以不惜一切手段。在现实生活中，一些商人确实为了追求利润，以道德的确实为代价，然而另外一些人相信商业道德能让他们得到更大的成功。我同意后者。Business ethics helps a

Business Ethics
A: Business ethics refers to acknowledged ethical norms applied in specific business
situations and activities. To some people, the concept of business ethics may be a
contradiction. In other words, they may view business managers as resonsible only for
making profits, not for upholding standards of integrity.
S: While maybe that’s why there are so many unethical behaviour in business
activities such as fraud, tax-avoidance cheating and lying. These things erode the
principle of integrity that lies at the heart of our business organisations.
A:Maybe you are right. But I don’t think business and ethics clash. Indeed, good
ethics means good management. If companies ignore moral concerns, violate laws, or
act unethically, they cannot possibly survive, let alone making any profits.

关于商业伦理

商业伦理（Business Ethics），也称企业伦理(Enterprise Ethics)，是关于企业及其成员行为的规范，以及关于怎样正确处理企业及其成员与利益相关者（包括企业主、员工、顾客、供应商、竞争者、政府、社区等）关系的规范。不仅企业，凡是与经营有关的组织都包含有伦理问题。只要由人组成的集合体在进行经营活动时，在本质上始终都存在着伦理问题。一个有道德的企业应当重视人性，不与社会发生冲突与摩擦，积极采取对社会有益的行为。
企业伦理这一概念，虽是20世纪70年代在美国出现的，但有个人不得不提——德国学者马克斯·韦伯。1904年，韦伯在《新教伦理与资本主义精神》中，将资本主义运动进行了一次非经济层面的文化诠释，使资本主义精神具有了伦理色彩。20世纪70年代，随着美国“商业伦理学”运动的兴起，商业伦理发展成一门新的独立的学科，在西方发达国家得到了飞速发展。同时，美国、西欧、日本一些企业在组织内部建立起严格的伦理制度和监管制度，企业不再认为企业的竞争是赤裸裸的斗争，不再认为打垮对手就是赢得了自己。
企业伦理是现代企业制度和管理中不可缺少的软件，在企业经营管理中，它发挥着重要的作用：
1、崇高的企业目标为企业发展指明了正确的方向；
2、提高员工的道德素质有利于企业人力资源和物质资源的配置；
3、管理者运用伦理手段可以调动员工的积极性和创造性，有利于企业在竞争激烈的市场中立于不败之地；
4、管理者的人格魅力可以增加企业的内聚力；
5、产品伦理道德的内涵是企业立足社会的保证；
6、注重社会效益是企业长期发展的动力；
7、高尚的道德觉悟是企业间竞争与合作的基础。
20世纪80年代之后，余英时和杜维明等新儒家代表，试图证明儒家伦理概念与现代工商精神有着天然的契合点。然而现实是，三聚氰胺奶粉事件虽引起了社会各界对于商业伦理的广泛关注，但时至今日，商业伦理问题仍未能引起我国大多数企业的重视，伦理道德的约束、掌控仍然在不少企业的决策管理以及生产经营活动的范围之外。 龙源期刊网
Businesses and Ethics
Ethics can be defined as the principles of behavior relating to moral conduct and judgment.
One area in which ethics have been the subject of increasing debate is that of industry and
business. While some people believe that robust business ethics often go unrewarded and may
even reduce a company’s competitiveness, others argue that high ethical standards can be
conducive and instrumental to the success of a business. I am a strong proponent of the latter view.
The first benefit of maintaining a high standard of business ethics is that, in the long run, it
will ensure a larger and more loyal customer base. Some businesses conduct their trade with no
concern for the preservation of the environment or for the wellbeing of their employees. Examples
include clothing retailers that use child labor and pharmaceutical companies that perform biased
