“…This demands a social competence, fairness, but also reciprocal trust and reliability, accompanied by a general respect for rules and laws as well as by a disposition to assume responsibility, to be conscious of the tasks, and to be answerable (Koslowski, 2008). If the work ambience is too strongly characterized by internal competition, fear of being dismissed, or simply acute self-interest, there will be an increased place for mistrust, conflicts, and possibly also for keeping back significant information.…”

The study features the problem of the relationship between economics and ethics, highlights the ethical aspects related to economy, and raises the question on its self-ethicizing in a way which is compatible with the objectives of economy. By referring to Hegel's Economic-Philosophical Theory, it stresses the fundamental function ascribed to corporate organizations which can overcome the deficiencies and the potential of conflict which accompanies an economic behaviour exclusively guided by rationally calculated self-interest. Corporate organizations are considered as partly institutionalized structures and represent an effective form of mediation between particular and general interests, production and consumption. Additionally, they bring about forms of cooperation, subsidiary, and corporate responsibility which are at the same time to be performed through the active contribution of the individuals. From this perspective, some relevant issues of the order ethics, the stakeholder theory, and the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are also taken into account and evaluated. In particular, the idea of responsibility can be conceived in a more articulated way, being concerned with central questions such as environment, human self-development, securing of work, and the search for a good quality of life.

“…An important attribute of this approach is that the impact of the ethical point of view is not restricted to ethical theories but already implemented in economic theories. There are other approaches in economic ethics, as, e. g., Ulrich (1987), Ulrich (2001), Koslowski (2008), or Shionoya (2008), who work on the integration of the conceptual frameworks of economics and ethics, or elaborate on the meaning relations of their concepts. As regards the extension of the RPO approach, the works in these fields shall be of particular importance with respect to step two.…”

Stakeholderintegration-Erweiterung der Kundenintegration und Ansatzpunkt zur Entwicklung einer ökonomisch-ethischen Theorie der Unternehmung The paper aims to make a contribution to the overcoming of what Freeman has characterized by his "separation thesis" and, based on a theory of the firm, the resources-processes-outcomes approach, developing of a business economic-ethics approach. The resources-processes-outcomes approach draws on two main theoretical concepts: integrative production and customer integration. The concept of customer integration throws light on the mutual responsibility of supplier and customer for the value-creation process and its outcomes. As regards management implications, customer integration can be interpreted as a special case of stakeholder integration. The paper outlines this program and proposes its implementation in two steps. Whereas the first step is mainly concerned with the statement, analysis and extension of the ethical dimensions of the available theory, step two shall contribute to the development of a business economic-ethical theory.

In the meantime, the principles of ethics in banking have never been given too much attention.…”

With the banking business developing, the system of bank values is becoming increasingly relevant. Adherence to the norms of the bank’s ethics helps developing and improving ties among the bank’s employees as well as relations with the clients. Appropriate behaviour and social culture on the part of the staff shape the image of the bank and stimulate loyalty in the clients. The sophisticated and reliable operation of banks can be judged both in terms of its legal and economic aspects, and ethics. The article addresses the ethics requirements for banks’ staff, deals with the analysis and assessment of the application of ethical norms in the process of rendering financial services, and reveals the principal provisions laid down in banks’ codes of ethics and estimations.
