MAJOR ETHICAL CHALLENGES THAT MANY ORGANIZATIONS FACE TODAY

Summary/Abstract: In the complex business environment of the 21st century the path to success requires much more than technical skills, practical knowledge and good products because companies of every size face a multitude of ethical issues and challenges. Companies face many types of challenges, from financial strain to competition but ethical challenges can be harder to detect and more difficult to remedy. Ethical challenges will not provide specific answers for the specific dilemmas that people face but will help readers bring to conscious awareness some understandings that help in thinking through ethical issues. The demands and expectations of the society about business ethics are high. But despite assumptions that the current business ethics needs to be slightly improved, it has not been improved as soon as public expectations have increased. But, when analyzing the other side we will see that more and more organizations are finding that ethical training is an integral component of their business and the importance of understanding what ethical issues business people face has increased. The purpose of this paper is to study ethical challenges as one of the main current challenges faced by organizations today and using a questionnaire we will try to discover what are the major ethical challenges in the working place, what are the ethical challenges that managers face every day, why unethical behavior occurs in organization and finalizing with the dilemma how to respond better to ethical challenges in organizations.
