Problems of Emergency Arbitration

This paper explores ethical burdens facing the economics profession which are associated with epistemic features of economic practice. Economists exert power over those they purport to serve by virtue of epistemic asymmetry between themselves and others, i.e., the intellectual monopoly they enjoy over a vitally important body of knowledge. But they also face the problem of epistemic insufficiency, which implies that they may do substantial harm as they try to do good. The paper explores the ethical entailments of the epistemic features of economics, and argues that managing the ethical challenges requires a new field of inquiry, the field of professional economic ethics, and not just a code of conduct.     

What’s in a Credo? A Critique of the Academy of Management’s Code of Ethical Conduct and Code of Ethics

The Academy of Management formally adopted a Code of Ethical Conduct in 1990. During the subsequent 15 years, almost nothing had been published about it and its value as a formal document meant to guide professional practice. Rather surprisingly then, in December 2005 an entirely new Code of Ethics was introduced by the Academy’s Board, to take effect in February 2006. Why was a new code promulgated? More broadly, what do the contents of these codes, the processes of their promulgation, and their expressed purposes, suggest about the value of such codes for similarly situated professional associations, in general? This article seeks to identify key strengths and weaknesses of the original code, begin an assessment of the potential value of the new code, and so stimulate debate. Further, not only is this a call to the members of the Academy to engage in some thoughtful debate and possible amendment of its new code, but also a caution to all such associations to take seriously the hurdles that must be jumped before any code can be developed and promulgated to worthwhile effect.

论服饰色彩的伦理思想价值探究

服饰色彩作为一定社会伦理的外部表现,以自己特有的物质形式表现着这些伦理观念,从而以一定文化符号的形式构建了服饰色彩伦理的道德内容和价值体系。服饰色彩的这种真假区分、善恶评价、美丑取舍内在的规定了服饰色彩伦理的价值内容,从而对人们的着装心理、着装习惯产生重大影响。

地勘文化与地勘行业核心价值体系

十七届六中全会召开以来,文化建设的软实力作用受到广泛重视。对于地勘行业来说,制约行业发展的一个重要因素是地勘文化,而地勘行业核心价值体系的建立是关键。地勘行业核心价值体系的作用主要体现在四个方面:一是指引行业发展的方向和轨迹;二是凝聚力量,形成合力;三是形成励志的信念和决心;四是建立职业道德标准,规范行业行为。地勘行业有优良的传统,先进的文化,但同时也存在一些思想意识方面的弊端和弱点。要发展先进的行业文化,需要结合行业特点,完善制度,建立有利于引导行业健康向上的激励机制。在具体工作中,领导干部要以身作则,坚持正确的政策导向和用人准则,从每一个细节开始推进先进的理念,鼓励无私奉献、诚实守信的做法,抑制好大喜功、弄虚作假的行为,树立行业正气,让社会主义核心价值体系在地勘行业落地生根、发展繁荣。

The Role of Professional Codes in Regarding Ethical Conduct

This paper investigates the regulation of ethical behavior of professionals. Ethical perceptions of South African professionals operating in the business community (specifically accountants, lawyers and engineers) concerning their need for and awareness of professional codes, and the frequency and acceptability of peer contravention of such codes were sought. The existence of conflict between corporate codes and professional codes was also investigated. Results, based on 217 replies, indicated that the professionals believe that codes are necessary and are relatively aware of the contents of such codes. Despite these ethical tendencies, respondents (particularly lawyers) believe that their peers contravene their professional codes relatively often. No significant differences in ethical tendencies between professionals consulting to and those working in business were found. Many respondents were regulated by more than one code of ethics, but few experienced conflict between such codes. In the events of conflict occurring professionals chose to adhere to their professional code above others.     

Ethics on the Web: Applying Moral Decision-Making to the New Media

This paper examines the advent of the Web as a critical media tool in the promotion and sale of goods to consumers and the ethical questions it raises that are issues of public policy. We examine four traditional ethical rationales that guide organizational decision-making – utilitarianism, distributive justice, moral rights of man and relativism, further characterized as "ends-based", "equity-based", "rules-based" and "comparison-based" rationales – and we apply them to four moral dilemmas attributed to the proliferation of dot.com companies as they relate to consumer welfare. We find that ethical rationale in the New Media is largely non-existent, and where it exists, it is primarily reactive and driven by utilitarian or relativistic reasoning. We attribute this condition to the newness of the industry and to its economic context, representing, as it does, many characteristics embodied in the concept of the "perfect market." We offer some remedies to improve ethical conduct by e-business.
