...Introduction An organisation’s ethics determines its reputation. In today’s competitive market, in view of globalisation and technological advances, it is especially essential for organisations to practice ethical business behaviour to build a strong public image to garner the support of consumers and employees. Although practicing good business ethics has many benefits, it remains as a constant challenge for organisations, as the potential for unethical behaviour is illimitable. In recent years, the cases of corporate misconduct in Singapore have been on the rise. In June 2011, Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean announced that commercial crimes, including fraud and cheating, rose by 13% as compared to 2010 (Othman, 2012). As most organisations have established codes of ethics to guide their employees regarding their ethical responsibilities, the imperative issue here is how effective is the code of ethics in regard to instilling ethical behaviour. In this essay, we will firstly look at the definition of ethical behaviour and an overview of the ethics program. Next, the effectiveness of the code of ethics and the criteria for it to be effective will be addressed. Lastly, a conclusion will be made to determine if the code of ethics is the most effective method for instilling ethical behaviour. Ethical Behaviour in Organisations Ethics as according to Wood, et al. (2006) can be defined as a behavioural code that explains what is good and right, as opposed...

...Every business has a first and primary goal to gain profit. To remain in business and grow the firm must take into account social responsibility and ethics. When an organization demonstrates that it is more interested in financial gain than in how it treats the environment, employees, and stakeholders it will lose financially. In order to balance the social responsibility and the desires of its shareholder for profit an organization needs to develop a strategic plan that thoroughly explains its ethical and social responsibilities to the stakeholders (Wheelan and Hunger, 2010). Senior executives, business owners, managers and leaders must understand social responsibility and ethics. By doing so they will understand the impacts these factors have on the success of the business. In today’s society firms must understand the concerns of all stakeholders on the organizations environmental impact as well as sustainability. Business ethics are the principals and standards that make up the acceptable behaviors of an organization. The acceptability of these behaviors are made up by the customers, government regulations, competitors, and society in general. Social responsibility and ethics are often used interchangeably but they do not mean the same thing (Crane & Matten, 2010). Ethics are based on the firm’s or person’s decisions that are defined as right or wrong by society’s standards. Social responsibility concerns the impact of the business’s activities on society.
