For years this topic had
be an issue. Some said business ethics is oxymoron and some said business
ethics is not oxymoron. Before we go any further, let we take a brief what is
oxymoron.
Oxymoron is word from
Greek that means sharp dull. In other word, Oxymoron
is bringing together two apparently contradictory concepts like you put stop
signboard with keep moving signboard together. REALLY????
Business
ethics and corporate governance are the buzzwords in today’s corporate circles.
It seems as though everyone is talking about them right from economic users to
business school profession. In fact, there are courses being taught on this
everywhere.
But with the
corruption scams and scandals ranging across the board, does anybody really
follow the ethical way of transacting business? Everyone talks about
transparency, accountability, managing risks and so on but are these just some
baseless words taught in business schools?
Business ethics is
regarded by many as an oxymoron. How can one be a businessman and be ethical
too at the same time? It has been the biggest question on everyone’s mind since
a long time now. But then, businesses have to care about ethics all the time.
