| == Characteristics of ethical issues ==
| |
| The Institute of Business Ethics (IBE) identifies the following characteristics, to help you identify whether a business issue is an ethical issue. If one or more of these characteristics is present, it is likely to be an ethical issue:
| |
| | |
| # It raises moral questions
| |
| # It is not covered by law
| |
| # It compromises your own or your organisation's values
| |
| # It is against any code of ethics or code of practice
| |
| # It involves your duties and responsibilities
| |
| # Your 'right' decision may not be the same as someone else's 'right' decision
| |
| # It provokes the responses 'should I?' or 'ought I?'
| |
