Business Ethics and Organization Social Responsibility (MGT 422)
Business ethics refers to the principles and values that guide the behavior of individuals and organizations in the business world. These principles and values may include honesty, integrity, fairness, and respect for the rights and dignity of others. Business ethics are important because they help to ensure that organizations operate in a manner that is consistent with societal norms and values, and that they contribute to the greater good of society.

Organizational social responsibility (OSR) refers to the actions that organizations take to address the social and environmental impacts of their operations. This may include initiatives such as philanthropy, environmental protection, and ethical labor practices. OSR is important because it helps organizations to be more accountable for the social and environmental impacts of their operations, and to take steps to mitigate any negative impacts.

Business ethics and OSR are closely related, as they both involve the principles and values that guide the behavior of organizations. However, business ethics focuses more on the values and principles that guide the behavior of individuals within the organization, while OSR focuses on the actions that organizations take to address the social and environmental impacts of their operations.

Both business ethics and OSR are important for the long-term success of organizations. Organizations that operate in an ethical manner and that are socially responsible are likely to have a positive reputation, which can lead to increased customer loyalty and a competitive advantage. In addition, organizations that are socially responsible may be more attractive to employees, as they may be more motivated to work for companies that are committed to making a positive impact on society.
