Philosophy, morals, ethics, and values all intertwine with one another.

Ethics pays a role with a person’s morals because it is the choice one makes regarding being right or wrong. Ethics involves the collection and interpretation of information on what people believe. For example, if I borrow five dollars from someone and tell them I will pay them back in a week, then that’s what I should do. I would not want someone to break their agreement with me if I acted in a means of trust toward them. This would not be ethical on my behalf because I value trust. Values are things that a person establishes to have worth. These can be intrinsic or instrumental.

Philosophy, morals, ethics, and values are all important for modern day business managers because all business settings need a code of ethics.

If a manager in today’s society cannot grapes these concepts, than it would be difficult to have trust and integrity within the work place. When a company has an established code of ethics all personal morals and values must be set aside. With this practice, a modern day business manager can be successful.

This has some relevance to the modern day corporation because all corporations have goals in which they seek to achieve. These goals are based on other competition within the market and the current situation dealing with that specific corporation. In...
