At the Monday January 16th, I feel so excited that I finally allow to attend my CSRGOVE Class. My first impression about this class is that this class is really the class that I want to attend! Because the professor is teaching about CSRGOVE excellently, clearly and make me easily to understand about the theories even it was my first time studying in the class that uses English language (in the university in Indonesia, people using Indonesia language for the education). The professor and also the student in this class are very open for me and treat me well, and it makes me feel comfortable even though I'm a foreigner here.
At those meeting, the professor was teaching and discussing with us about ethics and business. From those class, I learn that there was a lot of aspect and element that people have to be considered about to do the business. One of the most important aspect that people should be considered is ethic in the business. Nowadays, when people talk about ethics in business, the question is no longer about 'how do we implement ethics in business?' but more about 'Which values that we should implement?' and 'How to integrated this ethics aspect?'.
Ethic itself means activity of examining one's moral standards or the moral standards of society and asking how these standard applied or we can said ethic as a application of values. Business itself means activity to earn profit. So the tension of ethics in business is doing things right and doing things that customer will pay more.
One of the element in the ethics of business that people should be considered about is Conscience which means something that commands people about doing wrong or good thing. Another element in ethics of business is Religion, when people doing a business, he/she should be considered about religion and not humiliating other's religion. For this religion element's explanation, miss give us an example about Salman Rushdie's fatwa (novel) which considered humiliating Islam and gives a lot of bad effect even in a lot of countries such as India, Pakistan, and Ireland.
Values and norms are one of the most important element of ethics in business. Norms itself means those standards of appropriate and proper behaviour. Values itself means underlying beliefs and Ethical Values itself means those beliefs and principle that impartially promote human well-being. Another element of ethics in business is the golden rule, morality, personal integrity, and social ethics.
At the 2nd day meeting of those week, we discuss about the most important values from terminal and instrumental values by our own perspective. Those discussion made us study more that everyone has their own values that they think is important in their life and it could be different from one and another. Some people focus on the values related to happiness and pleasure life, and another people focus on the values related to ambitious and intellectual.
In those meeting, we also studied about the ethical audience that people should considered when making a business decision which called stakeholder. Stakeholder itself means individual or group whose welfare may be seriously affected by a corporations activity and thus have stake claim in manager's decision making.
Beside it, we also learned about why we should care about ethics, the argument against business ethics, common unethical acts, key influences on ethical behaviour, government regulation of business and comparison of ethical systems which include paradigm legal, codes, religion, philosophy, and culture.
