- See Learning Goal 1: Explain why obeying the law is only the first step in behaving ethically. The reputation of American businesses have been under assault due to numerous scandals over the past twenty years. Use this slide to help students understand that a person can obey the law and still be behaving unethically. Following the law is only the first step in being ethical. Ethics are standards of moral behavior and are accepted by society as right versus wrong.

- See Learning Goal 2: Ask the three questions to answer when faced with a potentially unethical action. When facing an ethical dilemma it is important that you ask these three basic questions: Is it legal? Is it balanced? How will it make me feel about myself? Asking and answering these three questions will prevent many people from making unethical decisions.
- See Learning Goal 3: Describe management’s role in setting ethical standards. Organizational ethics begins at the top. Leadership helps to instill corporate values in employees, so like many aspects of business ethical behavior practiced and modeled by managers and executives will often trickle down to the employees at large.

Factors Influencing Managerial Ethics Before you put this slide up, you may want to ask the students: What factors influence managerial ethics? Ethics begins with the individual but is influenced by the organization and the environment in which the business operates. To bring the discussion to the present, you may ask: How can the firm’s reward system impact ethical behavior? How did these reward systems at large banks and other financial institutions exacerbate the financial crisis in this country? (Students should be able to discuss this point. Excessive risk taking imperiled all of the stakeholders of various financial institutions as well as the world economy.)

Ways to Prevent Unethical Behavior Before you put this slide up, you may want to ask the students: What is management’s role in preventing unethical behaviors? What can be done to deter unethical behaviors on the part of employees? Increasing the penalty and educating employees are among the top methods for deterring unethical behaviors, according to the CMO Ethics Poll. (Source: CMO Magazine, October 2004) Thirty percent of the respondents in a poll suggested adding new laws to deter unethical behaviors. Ask the students: If ethics is more than legality, would new laws help? (Students should be able to argue this point. Although ethics is more than legality, if something is against the law, people may deter from such behavior. However, it should be pointed out that ethics should be the way of life, i.e., it needs to be ingrained in the employees through culture and role modeling by managers and executives.)
- See Learning Goal 5: Distinguish between compliance-based and integrity-based ethics codes, and list the six steps in setting up a corporate ethics code. CSR is based on a commitment to such basic principles as integrity, fairness and respect. Many for-profit companies have philanthropic endeavors as a part of their mission. Communities often depend on companies to help with social programs that make the lives of people in the community better. It stands to reason that businesses that strengthen their communities, as proponents of CSR argue, will grow stronger as their communities improve.
