There are two kinds of ethical obligation in business. There are
obligations that business people have simply as human beings. There are
further obligations they have as members of a profession.
Most people, when confronting a choice, are faced with one
question.
1. What should I do as a human being?
The professional, when confronting a choice, is faced with three
questions.
2. What should I do as a human being?
3. What should I do as a professional?
4. If there is a conflict, how should I resolve it?
There is no generally accepted
code of professional behavior in business, beyond the basic duties of
honesty, etc., that apply to human beings in general. It is not even obvious
to everyone that business people should be considered professionals. The
aim of this paper is to address this failing. It suggests why business ethics
have been slow to evolve, why we need professional ethics in business,
and what their content might be. But before this can proceed, there must
be some clarification of what professional ethics are and why we have
them.
This may explain why there are no well developed professional
ethics in business, and why business is not even unambiguously regarded
as a profession. There is no need for business people to identify
themselves to others as professionals, because theirs is not essentially an
occupation that serves others.
On a moment’s reflection, however, this view is preposterous.
Business generates the wealth that makes everything else possible.
Business people not only make money for themselves, but they generate
wealth in the sense that they create value. They take raw materials, labor
and capital and manage their transformation into valuable goods and
services.
