Key Terms u




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




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




setting.
u




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




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




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




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




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




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




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




action against the benefits of the action.
u u u u u u u




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




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




from other philosophical reasoning.
u u u u




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




ethical standards to the particular situation at hand.
u u u u u u u u

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




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




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




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




society or on key stakeholders.
u u u u u




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




rather than hiring employees.
u u u u




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




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




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




employees, consumers, suppliers, and the community.
u u u u u u




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




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




which the corporation operates.
u u u u




triple bottom line: The idea that investors and others should consider notonly corporate
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




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




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




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




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




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




of people affected by the decision.
