Usually, business ethics is a contradiction. In this day and age, ethics and standards for quality are a huge impediment being successful working for most corporations and medium-sized businesses. More than reliability and performance concerns, concerns about whether you'll be too much of an idealist are at the fore when companies interview employees. I think we've got Rome all over again lately.

Six sigma is a quality improvement method and not really directly tied to ethics per se.\n\nHowever, six sigma can very easily be applicable to pharmaceutical companies.\n\nHere is a link to six sigma info and resources.

well its about treating people and children as humans not as 'observing material'. in order to observe, you are using someone else to get your material, or information and so you could argue that this is not ethically right. the way to be ethical with it is to ask permission, to remain as unobtrusive as possible, not to intrude in what they are doing and to understand and acknowledge the reasons why you are there.\nit also depends on why the children are being observed, you might be observing contact between a child and their parent becase there are child protection concerns for that family and so your observation might be part of protection of the child,,, you might be observing because there are educational or social concerns about a child;s behaviour, in which case you need to be careful about how you handle the observation because you dont want to make the child feel that they are doing something wrong,,, you might be observing the children for assignments, in which case the ethical question is more relevant because you are using others to gain for yourself and then you must ask permission etc

Morals are things like the majority of people agree are not right i.e.'Do not kill' etc... Ethics have more to do with making the right/wrong choice in life that are in the grey areas of life. Example, you are attempting to help out a friend by submitting their resume to your boss but when you read your friend's resume you see clearly that your friend could easily take your job because your friend is more qualified then you. Do you give the resume to your boss and help out your friend that really needs a job or do you never submit the resume to your boss and lie to your friend about it?

I would say that ethics are governed by those around you. In other words a general consensus is arrived at by the cumulative agreement of many...whereas morality is decided within the hearts of each of us...we alone decide what is and isn't morally right. Others may have an opinion but ultimately the final decision on morality is our own..~

Any decision is appropriate providing:\n\ni) the decision is perceived by you as difficult, and you feel conflicted and/or 'stuck'\n\nii) making the decision is your responsibility (i.e. if it is a management decision it does not have to be made as a committee, or if it is a professional decision it is not really your client's decision)\n\niii) it is possible to carry out the decision within a month of making the decision, and it is possible to make some assessment of how well the decision has turned out within a month of carrying it out

"In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side."\n\nThis is my favourite quote from Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai - a Jim Jarmusch film.\n\nDecision making is absolutely crucial to an organisation's succuss. Many times, decisions must be made in an instant.\n\nCheers,\nAlister\nhttp://www.MarketScience.com.au

Very critical...good for all of us?  I am hesitant to agree to your code, as it may be best for one of us to break it at some point.  Fairness and justice are intrinsic concepts to most people, and they are not the domain or invention of religion, but they are still not real.  An ethical code is imaginary and is the seed of a religion.  A responsible individual should consider murder, rape, and lying as viable actions in a given situation, and then choose action based on desired outcome.  That is responsibility.

Of course, it is better to take some theory as background first, before investigation, for orderly analysis of things.\n\nYou have to ask questions to get a view who takes decisions, on what  they are based, what is the level of collaboration between workers and its type, how spread are non-conventional relations (present much in badly managed organisations), which is satisfaction of employees, how they perceive elements of organisation, etc. \n\nThe same questions in essence should be formulated differently for different people taking into account their position, education level, language used, also type of organisation - a thing suitable for hospital may be not suitable for trading company.\n\nAnd it is good to have several questions for testing the same.\n\nE.g. involvment into decision-making. \nYou may ask the employer and chief management: do they get feedback from employees, were opinions of employees useful, how often meetings are held. \nAnd questions of the same section for employees may look so: do management asks their opinion, do they feel that their feedback is used, do meetings are held too often/to rarely.

Your question is indeed an ethical question - you are not a affected party so there is no impact upon you regardless of the outcome.  I suggest you explore your own ethical standards - check this web site, http://ethics.acusd.edu/resources/cases/HomeOverview.asp\nto see if it helps you come to terms with what you feel you need to do, what you feel you should do and what you want to do.   Good luck.

It's not ethical.\n\nCurrent medical ethics guidelines require explicit written consent to perform a pelvic exam under general anesthesia. I also don't know any nurses or resident physicians that wouldn't immediatly turn in an attending physician for pulling a stunt like that. In fact, my med school class was specifically told to immediately report any such activity to the department chief. \n\nTo be fair, it is sometimes medically necessary to perform a pelvic exam under anesthesia, but in all cases this will be discussed with the patient and written consent must be obtained beforehand.\n\nUnfortunately, in the old days "practice" pelvic exams did indeed happen. The reason is that when a person is under general anesthesia their muscles are completely relaxed, and it's much easier to palpate the ovaries and uterus. This was once seen as a way to teach young physicians or medical students how to properly perform a pelvic exam. I'm not sure how widespread this practice ever was, but it definitely did happen. Fortunately, with the push for improved patient's rights and autonomy over the past 20 years, this practice has been abandoned.\n\nPart of the HIPAA act guarantees you the right to a copy of your medical records. Further, if you can prove this happened you can definitely sue (and win). The problem is that no physician is going to document something like this in your medical record.  \n\nYou might start by getting a copy of your records and talking with your doctor. If you aren't satisfied with the response, most hospitals have a patient's advocate with whom you can file a formal complaint. These people often do a good job of investigating complaints and may help resolve the problem. \n\nYou should also be aware that the hospital keeps a detailed log of all personnel who where in the OR that day, so it's always possible to track down anyone who might have seen anything happen. If you reach the stage of dealing with a patient's advocate, you should definitely ask whether they have spoken to the other people present in the OR that day. \n\nIf all else fails, you can always hire an attourney.

An ethical dilemma could be if a child that she is involved with the investigation of is the child of a family member.  If she knows of abuse of a program of aid and doesn't report it because she personally knows the person that's abusing it...stuff like that....it would be a dilemma if she is personally at gain or loss from it.

I DONT THINK THEY LOOK AT IT AS AN ETHICAL CHOICE,  ITS BUSINESS.  AS A BOSS I WANT TO KEEP THE BEST WORKERS HAPPY SO THAT THE SLACKERS EITHER LEAVE OR PICK UP THEIR PACE.   I THINK ITS NECESSARY FOR A MANAGER TO COMPARE HIS/HER EMPLOYEES WHEN THERE IS A PROMOTION IN LINE.  THE BEST WORKER SHOULD GET AHEAD.

Decision making is the process of choosing a preferred option or course of action from among a set of alternatives. Decision making permeates all aspects of life, including decisions about what to buy, whom to vote for, or what job to take. Decisions often involve uncertainty about the external world (e.g., What will the weather be like?), as well as conflict regarding one’s own preferences (e.g., Should I opt for a higher salary or for more leisure?). The decisionmaking process often begins at the information-gathering stage and proceeds through likelihood estimation and deliberation, until the final act of choosing. One can distinguish three approaches to the analysis of decision making: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive. The normative approach assumes a rational decision-maker who has well-defined preferences that obey certain axioms of rational behavior. This conception, known as RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY, is based primarily on a priori considerations rather than on empirical observation. The descriptive approach to decision making is based on empirical observation and on experimental studies of choice behavior. It is concerned primarily with the psychological factors that guide behavior in decision-making situations. Experimental evidence indicates that people’s choices are often at odds with the normative assumptions of the rational theory. In light of this, the prescriptive enterprise focuses on methods of improving decision making, bringing it more in line with normative desiderata.
