It's difficult to find a consensus for corporate ethics, especially one that works across cultures. As technology and the global economy break down traditions and a sense of community, company managers are struggling to devise moral rules that fit a diverse, often cynical workforce. So many companies try to combine a top-down ethical code with some democratic process of consulting employees in hopes of instilling corporate morality. It's not an idle exercise. As the power of corporations grows, so too do the demands for them to take more responsibility for their impact on the world.
Business ethics lies at the heart of avoiding abuses and creating a world that is safe for business.
