Key Terms w




business ethics: Ethics in a business context; a consensus of what constitutes right or wrong
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




behavior in the world of business and the application of moral principles to situations that arisein a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




business setting.
w w




categorical imperative: A concept developed by the philosopher Immanuel Kant as an ethical
w w w w w w w w w w w w




guideline for behavior. In deciding whether an action is right or wrong, or desirable or undesirable, a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




person should evaluate the action in terms of what would happen if everybody else in the same
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




situation, or category, acted the same way.
w w w w w w w




corporate social responsibility (CSR): The concept that corporations can and should act
w w w w w w w w w w w




ethically and be accountable to society for their actions.
w w w w w w w w w




cost-benefit analysis: A decision-making technique that involves weighing the costs of a given
w w w w w w w w w w w w




action against the benefits of the action.
w w w w w w w




duty-based ethics: An ethical philosophy rooted in the idea that every person has certain dutiesto
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




others, including both humans and the planet. Those duties may be derived from religious principles
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




or from other philosophical reasoning.
w w w w w




ethical reasoning: A reasoning process in which an individual links his or her moral convictionsor
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




ethical standards to the particular situation at hand.

ethics: Moral principles and values applied to social behavior.
w w w w w w w w




moral minimum: The minimum degree of ethical behavior expected of a business firm, which is
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




usually defined as compliance with the law.
w w w w w w w




outcome-based ethics: An ethical philosophy that focuses on the impacts of a decision on w w w w w w w w w w w w w




society or on key stakeholders.
w w w w w




outsourcing: The practice by which a company hires an outside firm or individual to performwork
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




rather than hiring employees.
w w w w




principle of rights: The principle that human beings have certain fundamental rights (to life,
w w w w w w w w w w w w w




freedom, and the pursuit of happiness, for example). A key factor in determining whether a
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




business decision is ethical under this theory is how that decision affects the rights of others,such
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




as employees, consumers, suppliers, and the community.
w w w w w w w




stakeholders: Groups, other than the company’s shareholders, that are affected by corporate w w w w w w w w w w w




decisions. Stakeholders include employees, customers, creditors, suppliers, and the communityin
w w w w w w w w w w w




which the corporation operates.
w w w w




triple bottom line: The idea that investors and others should consider not only corporate
w w w w w w w w w w w w w




profits, but also the corporation’s impact on people and on the planet in assessing the firm. (The
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




bottom line is people, planet, and profits.)
w w w w w w w




utilitarianism: An approach to ethical reasoning in which ethically correct behavior is related toan w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




evaluation of the consequences of a given action on those who will be affected by it. In
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




utilitarian reasoning, a ―good‖ decision is one that results in the greatest good for the greatest number
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w




of people affected by the decision.
