Key Terms x



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


behavior in the world of business and the application of moral principles to situations that arise
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


in a business setting.
x x x x


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


guideline for behavior. In deciding whether an action is right or wrong, or desirable or
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


undesirable, a person should evaluate the action in terms of what would happen if everybody
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


else in the same situation, or category, acted the same way.
x x x x x x x x x x x


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


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


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


action against the benefits of the action.
x x x x x x x


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


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


principles or from other philosophical reasoning.
x x x x x x


ethical reasoning: A reasoning process in which an individual links his or her moral convictions
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


or ethical standards to the particular situation at hand.

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


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


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


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


society or on key stakeholders.
x x x x x


outsourcing: The practice by which a company hires an outside firm or individual to perform
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x


work rather than hiring employees.
x x x x x


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


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


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


such as employees, consumers, suppliers, and the community.
x x x x x x x x


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


decisions. Stakeholders include employees, customers, creditors, suppliers, and the community
x x x x x x x x x x


in which the corporation operates.
x x x x x


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


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


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


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


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


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


number of people affected by the decision.
