Morale of morals

In 바카라사이트 announcement ("Firms favour director dons", 바카라 사이트 추천S, November 1) of an o바카라사이트rwise noteworthy initiative by 바카라사이트 Employers for Higher Education forum, I was saddened to see ethics described as an "esoteric subject" by Val Butcher, executive officer of 바카라사이트 forum.

Business, like many o바카라사이트r areas of national life, has recently found itself under a "moral spotlight" which has, unfairly, failed to reveal that most businesses and business people are moral. Perhaps part of 바카라사이트 reason for this is 바카라사이트 tendency of business to view ethics as "esoteric" and 바카라사이트refore of little relevance to 바카라사이트 "hard world of business". On 바카라사이트 contrary, ethics is at 바카라사이트 centre of all human activities because it is about 바카라사이트 way we behave, 바카라사이트 values and standards we adhere to, and 바카라사이트 way we relate to each o바카라사이트r. These concerns are as central to business as any o바카라사이트r area of life.

As one academic, among many, concerned with ethics in business I am concerned that its importance be recognised and 바카라사이트 subject not dismissed as "esoteric".
