a system of moral principles: the ethics of a [|culture]. the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particulargroup, culture, etc.:


 * Business ethics **

is a form of applied ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and business organizations as a whole


 * Code of Ethics**

While many **businesses** have **codes** of ethics, the words written in a formal code are valuable only if their intent is reflected in the actions of the people who represent the organization. A business cannot be any more – or less – ethical than the people who run it and who work for it. Within a company, people take their cues regarding the behaviors that are acceptable based on how they see the company's leaders  acting and the behaviors that they see being rewarded in their peers. Businesses that are managed by leaders who conduct themselves in an ethical manner and who reward employees for doing what is right are much more likely to be characterized by a positive ethical culture.

**Because of** the rapidly changing nature of technology, new and complex ethical issues are emerging which bring into question the ability of society to address, and hopefully resolve them. These new issues are arising in such areas as biotechnology, information technology, nanotechnology and nuclear technology and range from protecting the health and welfare of the public and the environment, to patenting living organisms and labeling products containing genetically modified organisms, to concerns regarding the alteration of the ecology of life. This program focuses on the nature of these emerging technical issues, their ethical, legal and social ramifications, and what individuals and our society value in relation to these issues. The program examines what philosophy, religion and art, and natural and social science have to say about these issues, and about the relationship between individual and societal values regarding these issues.

**The decision-making process will always present ethical challenges to managers**. Is this the right thing to do? This question is the essence of the ethical dilemma for any decision maker in today’s corporations. A collection of factors will be taken in consideration in answering to this question. **Is it right for the company**? **Is it right for the shareholders**? **Is it right for the society**? **For the customers**? **For the decision maker himself**? There are many ways to approach the ethical subject, and different ethical values may and will emerge from these different approaches. The way a decision will be evaluated is fully dependent on the values and interests of the person or group of people evaluating that decision. Some of the stakeholders will not care that much if the decision was made based on ethical values counting it generated the results they expected. This is where the risk lies, because the decision maker will also have this in mind when deciding about the subject; depending on how much he or she is results-driven, he or she may overlook some ethical issues in the name of a good outcome and good earnings. This is especially true when the decision maker is a materialist moral philosophy.



Ethics in life and ethics in business are not the same. In life, if faced with an ethical choice many of us would like to think we  would d do the right thing, but in business the right thing may not always be clear as a businesses objectives and peoples ethical objectives do not always match. This doesn't mean that’s it’s impossible to have a profitable and ethically responsible business, it may just take a little more effort. Historically, Muslims derive their Islamic ethics from the Qur’an and the Hadith. The Qur’an contains several commands Muhammad’s followers must obey. The Hadith presents Muhammad as the exemplary human whom Muslims must imitate in all respects. “Muhammad was only a mortal being commissioned by God to teach the word of God and lead an exemplary life,” writes Hammuda Abdalati. “He stands in history as the best model for man in piety and perfection. He is a living proof of what man can be and of what he can accomplish in the realm of excellence and virtue
 * Islamic Ethics – Muhammad as Exemplar**
