Confluence of Ethics to Business Sustainability!!!

"Business Ethics defines organisations character and its brand image for which it requires the help of corporate governance".

Governance go well beyond conformance and compliance and lead way to progress.Thus a horizon is reached a horizon called excellence and must logically lead to business sustainability.

The following equations can be posited:

1. E∞G

Effectiveness ∞ Good Governance.

2. E (b+m) +G∞ CSR

CSR is the manifestation of business and managerial ethics of corporate entity and its executives and embodies the ethical relation between business and society through reflecting good governance.

3.E (b+m) +G+ CSR∞X

Ethics (Business Managerial) +Good Governance+CSR∞ Organisational Excellence.

4. X∞ E4

Organisational Excellence =Ethics x Equtiy x Egalitarnism x Effectiveness.

5. X>S

Excellence cannot end in itself unless translated to business sustainability.

"If you build that foundation, both the moral and the ethical foundation, as well as the business foundation, and the experience foundation, then the building won't crumble"

Principles of CSR

Because of the uncertainty surrounding the nature of CSR activity, it is difficult to define CSR and to be certain about any such activity. There are three basic principles which together comprise all CSR activity. 1.Sustainability: If the resources are utilized in the present, then they are no longer available for use in the future.

Transparency It means that the external impact o...

HR: A Strategic Asset

Strategic assets are “the set of difficult to trade and imitate, scarce, appropriable, and specialized resources and capabilities that bestow the firm’s competitive advantage”. It is easy to understand why organizations talk about people as an asset, but tend to manage them largely as a cost to be minimized. Aside from accounting principles that encourage this perspective, HR costs are easy to observe, while HR value creation is not. Largely because of the traditional perspective on HR, organizations have no way to measure HR’s strategic performance. Nevertheless, we know that intangibles in the aggregate are an increasingly important source of firm value, and that human capital ought to be a part of that asset value. HR is a strategic asset as it can play a critical role in both strategy implementation and management systems. Namely, the ability to execute strategy well is a source of competitive advantage, and “people” are the lynchpin of effective strategy execution. We think i...
