Developing Codes of Ethics
According to Wallace, "A credo generally describes the highest values to which t
he company aspires to operate. It contains the `thou shalts.' A code of ethics s
pecifies the ethical rules of operation. It's the `thou shalt nots." In the latt
er 1980s, The Conference Board, a leading business membership organization, foun
d that 76% of corporations surveyed had codes of ethics.
Some business ethicists disagree that codes have any value. Usually they explain
that too much focus is put on the codes themselves, and that codes themselves a
re not influential in managing ethics in the workplace. Many ethicists note that
it's the developing and continuing dialogue around the code's values that is mo
st important. (Extracted from Complete (Practical) Guide to Managing Ethics in t

Developing Codes of Conduct
If your organization is quite large, e.g., includes several large programs or de
partments, you may want to develop an overall corporate code of ethics and then
a separate code to guide each of your programs or departments. Codes should not
be developed out of the Human Resource or Legal departments alone, as is too oft
en done. Codes are insufficient if intended only to ensure that policies are leg
al. All staff must see the ethics program being driven by top management.
Note that codes of ethics and codes of conduct may be the same in some organiza
tions, depending on the organization's culture and operations and on the ultimat
e level of specificity in the code(s). (Extracted from Complete (Practical) Guid
e to Managing Ethics in the Workplace.)

Resolving Ethical Dilemmas and Making Ethical Decisions
Perhaps too often, business ethics is portrayed as a matter of resolving conflic
ts in which one option appears to be the clear choice. For example, case studies
are often presented in which an employee is faced with whether or not to lie, s
teal, cheat, abuse another, break terms of a contract, etc. However, ethical dil
emmas faced by managers are often more real-to-life and highly complex with no c
lear guidelines, whether in law or often in religion.
As noted earlier in this document, Doug Wallace, Twin Cities-based consultant,
explains that one knows when they have a significant ethical conflict when there
Social Responsibility
Social responsibility and business ethics are often regarding as the same concep
ts. However, the social responsibility movement is but one aspect of the overall
discipline of business ethics. The social responsibility movement arose particu
larly during the 1960s with increased public consciousness about the role of bus
iness in helping to cultivate and maintain highly ethical practices in society a
nd particularly in the natural environment.
