CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Ethics refers to the principles of and standard of moral behavior that are accepted by society as right versus wrong. To make the right choice, or at least the best choice from among competing alternatives, individuals must think through the consequences of their actions. Ethics can be defined as a set of
Principles of right conduct. It can also be defined as a theory or a system of moral values. Business ethics is the application of moral standards to business situations.
Many firms have a set of policies on business conduct and legal compliance. The policies embrace ethics, internal controls, conflict of interest and a host of other areas , all of which are designed to promote good and ethical business practice. Employees are acquainted with these policies and are made to sign
Undertakings to them maintain. As a matter of policy, the company is ready to concede business opportunity in favour of its code of ethics
Business ethics has been a growth area in the business world in recent times. Before the advent of business ethics, business transactions have largely been conducted on the principle of caveat emptor, meaning buyer beware. Much has changed in recent times. The law is the most important source of ensuring that consumers receive a fair deal from retailers and manufacturers. Some of these laws in Nigeria include the PRICE CONTROL Act of 1970 as amended by the price control Act 1977; Nigeria Standard Organisation of Nigeria ACT OF 1971; National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and control Act of 1974; Weight and measures ACT OF 1974 ETC. These and other laws are essentially an imposition of moral consideration on Business
Laws and regulations are promulgated especially in business to right the wrongs and unwholesome practices by businessmen. Therefore, laws and regulations exist to achieve the following
Protect consumers, regulate competition, protect organisations from each other, and to protect the society. Why should businessmen be ethical in their conduct?. Appearing to be ethical, it may be suggested, is simply good business. Other more specific significance of business ethics are as follows
Consumers are arguably, more likely to buy from a company which can be seen to be acting ethically. Graduates are more likely to be attracted to companies which treat their employees fairly and give customers a fair deal. Ethical business practice is a means of forestalling legislation and stringent government regulations.
Business ethics requires companies doing their bit to contribute towards a just and fair society, while also ensuring that environmental pollution is brought under control. Another significance of Business ethics stems from the fact that business need to retain the vast amount of social power entrusted to them by the public. Therefore the research seek to proffer an evaluation of the nature and impact of business ethic on the organizational performance with a case study of first Bank plc.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Ethics refers to the principles of and standard of moral behavior that are accepted by society as right versus wrong. To make the right choice, or at least the best choice from among competing alternatives, individuals must think through the consequences of their actions. Ethics can be defined as a set of
Principles of right conduct it can also be defined as a theory or a system of moral values. Business ethics is the application of moral standards to business situations. Organisations doing business with observance of moral standards according to stipulated laws and bound to attract customers and larger patronage, however with the prolification of many business firms the question of ethics seem to be undermined. Many organisations see nothing wrong
In dealing with substandard product and services, many firms do not have policies that are ethically inclined ranging from pricing, packaging, product and services and customer service, the result is poor product image ,poor customer relation, lower sales loss of profit etc. The effect extends beyond the customer to the society and the economy at large. Therefore the problem confronting this research is to provide an appraisal of the nature and impact of Business ethic on organizational performance with a case study of first bank plc
