The arƟcle analyzes price posiƟons of Ukrainian wheat on the world market, detects main compeƟtors and its target market. Also, tasks for cereal market operators in connecƟon with an increase of Ukrainian share in world trade due to surge in Ukrainian wheat sales more than 3 Ɵmes for the last 7 years is considered in the arƟcle. The Ukrainian share in wheat sales of the Black Sea basin countries was 23,1%, Russian share – 48,4%, Romania – 10,1% in 2019/2020 markeƟng year. The main compeƟtor of Ukraine among the Black Sea basin countries is Russia that has increased its wheat exports more than 3 Ɵmes and has enough poliƟcal and economic moƟvaƟons to use predatory pricing strategies. Other worthy compeƟtors are France and Romania. They have strong market posiƟons because of the European Union protecƟonist policy. The rise in stock for crops in 2020 caused price escalaƟon on the world market. We should use internal and external methods such as macroeconomic stabilizaƟon, in parƟcular exchange rate, opƟmizing technology for producƟon and storing to prevent losses, adherence to the principles of business ethics in the execuƟon of contracts, improvement of the remaining infrastructure, logisƟcs and informaƟon-based promoƟon to provide raising the image of Ukrainian products on the world market. Today the agricultural businesses should make informed decisions regarding further export of Ukrainian wheat, realisƟcally assess the capaciƟes of its sales considering world market demands and own economic acƟvity results.

Using Hard Times to Teach Business Ethics

In this research we employ an inter-disciplinary project that uses active learning theory to help bridge the gap between a university’s extensive liberal arts core and its business program. We believe this project will improve and enrich classroom discussions of the more complex and nuanced issues found in the application of business principles. To redress the fact that many undergraduate students do not have extensive work experience to draw on when discussing the application of business ethics principles, we present a project that uses a classic novel, Hard Times, to improve students’ abilities to contextualize and apply common business ethics frameworks. The project focuses on active learning and non-linear thinking, and aims to immerse the student in a fictional environment that models the complexity of, without being identical to, a real world business setting.

Examination of the Role of Business Ethics with Google Trends

Ethics has existed in religion and philosophy for thousands of years and has been applied to business activities in the same way ethical values and norms have been applied to everyday life. This article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the study of business ethics as the form of applied ethics, which studies morals, ethical principles and problems in the business environment. The main goal of the study is to analyze business ethics from the point of view of integration of general morals and ethical norms to business, a combination of key signs of the right (good) or wrong behavior while doing business, determined on the basis of expected behavior approved by the society. The study of the role of business ethics in the corporate sector of the economy allowed to determine the most general principles of business ethics, namely awareness, caring, compliance, consideration, fairness, honesty, implementation, integrity, integration, loyalty, responsibility, and trustworthiness. The methodological basis of the research is analytical, statistical and comparative methods based on the use of Google Trends. In general, in Google Books, the use of the term business ethics shows an exponential trend. The findings show that the highest search frequency of business ethics is in the “all” category, after that in the “business and industry” category, then in the “science” category, finally in the “law and government” category. On average, the highest interest frequency was in 2004 in all examined categories. The author has proved that a third-degree polynomial downward trend can be fitted to each time series. The analysis of this concept on a geographical basis showed that the interest frequency of the principles of business ethics was most significant in South and Central East Africa, in South and Southeast Asia, over and above in the Caribbean.

Factors Affecting Customer Satisfaction of the Ride-sharing Industry in Bangladesh

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the statistical analysis on the issue of customer satisfaction with the ride-sharing industry in Bangladesh. The objective of this study is to explore and assess the factors that affect the satisfaction level of ride-sharing users in Bangladesh. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of customer dissatisfaction indicates that there are real problems with the services of the ride-sharing companies. The relevance of the decision of this statistical analysis is that speed, cost, and convenience of ride influence the level of customer satisfaction. As the ride-sharing companies store the personal data while using the application, they were accused of using those data illegally and without users’ consent which goes against the business ethics principles. Investigation of the topic proves that if the ride-sharing companies can reduce the cost of the ride, increase the speed and convenience of the ride and run their business ethically customers will be more satisfied than before. Analysis in the paper is carried out in the following logical sequence: the statistical data available are analyzed, and then a survey is done, which reveals some factors that affect customer satisfaction. Methodological tools of the research methods were analysis and synthesis of the available data, survey, and statistical methods: hypothesis testing through binary logistic regression analysis with Hosmer-Lemeshow test which proves that there are significant relationships between some factors. The object of the research is factors that affect the customer satisfaction of the ride-sharing industry in Bangladesh. The study found speed of ride as the most significantly influential factor (regression coefficient) ([Coef.] =2.707, Odds Ratio [OR] =14.9899, p<0.01) followed by cost of ride (Coef. =2.291, OR=9.8883, p<0.01) and convenience of ride (Coef. =1.969, OR=7.1641, p<0.01). However, the security of ride, waiting time for the car and behavior of drivers were found insignificant. The model explains 78.44% deviance (Coefficient of determination, R2 =0.7844) in the response variable with its constructs. And the “Hosmer-Lemeshow” goodness-of-fit score (1.00) is also above the standard threshold (0.05), which indicates the data fit well with the model. The research empirically confirms and statistically proves that reducing the cost, increasing the speed and convenience of the ride can significantly impact customer satisfaction along with some other factors including maintaining business ethics, the confidentiality of personal data, improving vehicle fitness, service availability, and safety driving. The findings of this study are expected to be helpful for ride-sharing service providers to gain a better understanding of the factors that impact the customer satisfaction of the ride-sharing industry in Bangladesh. Keywords: Bangladesh, Business-ethics, Congestion, Customer-satisfaction, Ride-sharing.

How Principles of Business Ethics Relates to Corporate Governance and Directors?

Abstract How can we define business ethics? Which principles are inherent in it? Business ethics propose several principles to be considered by companies, commercial entities, as well as other entities such as NGO’s, cooperatives, public organizations etc. First, this study will clarify the meaning and scope of business ethics and the principles included, such as integrity, fairness, trust, openness, truthfulness etc. Secondly, I will try to examine different facets of business ethics. I will approach this concept especially from a legal perspective and try to determine which aspects of this concept have been integrated into law. Business ethics has reflections especially in business law and corporate governance and is being “legalized” by the corporate codes of conduct. This study aims to clarify that business ethics are mentioned explicitly in Turkish law, in the Code of Corporate Governance concerning public companies and discuss legal impact of this regulation. As a result of this quotation in the Turkish Legislation, there could be revealed several questions. One of the questions is whether ethical standards might be a source of liability of the board and directors. In my presentation I would like to examine to what extent ethical standards interrelates with corporate governance codes and the liability of directors. Business ethics can be described as a source concept and a set of principles, that gives rise to fields such as “corporate governance”, “corporate responsibility”, “liability of directors” and “human rights in business” concerning especially working conditions of the employees. Business ethics has an intersection with all the mentioned fields. In the second part of this study, I will try to clarify the connection of business ethics with corporate governance principles in business and then conclude how business ethics has been adopted into legal system and how it shapes and affect business practices especially in Turkish law.

Guiding Principles for Ethical Change Management

Change is omnipresent in business. Business must effect positive change to benefit itself in its mission to provide benefit to society; society must accept positive change to garner the benefits of change and to make possible the changes business prompts. Intensifying the need to understand the role of ethics in effective change management is the failure rate of effective change. Utilizing Aristotelian virtues and Kantian analysis, this article addresses issues related to change management and fills a void in the literature by developing a proposal of change management principles that incorporates the use of these well-established business ethics principles.

Ethical Behavior and Organizational Innovation: Analysis of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Latvia

Abstract Innovations can provide small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) a significant competitive advantage considering the ambiguous business environment. SMEs may face lower capacity and more constrained funding for long-term investments, however, understanding innovation in a broader sense and looking into organizational structures, behaviors and processes, SMEs have an opportunity to become more competitive. This study analyzes the impact of ethical behavior as a part of an organizational culture on organizational innovation performance in SMEs. Six hundred SMEs in Latvia were surveyed to assess whether employees follow the principles of business ethics in their work and what is the organizational innovation performance in these enterprises. We found that more ethical behavior leads to better organizational innovation performance, and that the size of enterprise is the most significant factor affecting this relationship. The study proposes insights that contribute to theoretical and practical discussions on fostering small businesses innovation in small economies.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Business Ethics in Controversial Sectors: Analysis of Research Results

Untl recently, in business practce, there was a belief that companies were operatng solely for the proft of their owners. Few companies have recognized the need to combine their actvites with ethics, and in partcular with their obligatons toward society or the environment. However, the percepton of ethical issues has changed radically in business over the last 20 years. If a company wants to be perceived as a reliable business partner and a respected member of the business sector, it should demonstrate a high level of insttutonalizaton of business ethics principles and practces, and it must practce outstanding ethical behavior. This is exceptonally true in some controversial industries. The purpose of our study is to identfy the scale and scope of the use of these principles and practces in two Central European countries, i.e., Poland and Hungary, in three controversial sectors of the economy, i.e., pharmaceutcal, tobacco and alcohol. The data were achieved on the basis of data gathered through survey methodology. The target subjects included a group of 48 companies (25 Hungarian and 23 Polish ones). Our survey mainly focused on the degree of insttutonalizaton of business ethics (such as the presence of a code of conduct, an employee appointed to deal with ethical issues, ethical training, and so on), the perceived ethical behavior of the frms, and their relatonship with their key stakeholders. Our study confrmed that business ethics is regarded as a signifcant factor which has an influence on business success and the corporate image of companies from the sectors in queston. However, it is necessary to emphasize that the scale of this phenomenon varies, across both sectors and countries. The level of insttutonalizaton is somewhat higher at Hungarian frms while preventng and handling corrupton cases are more at the forefront of Polish companies. Although it seems that stakeholders from Polish frms have greater ethical expectatons, we did not observe signifcant differences between perceived ethical behavior in the two countries. The originality of the paper is the result of the presentaton of unique qualitatve research related to business ethics in sensitve sectors of the economy in two Central European countries. To the best of our knowledge, such research is relatvely rare (due to the sensitve nature of the sectors analyzed) not only in these two countries but also on an internatonal scale.

Corporate social responsibility audit: Theoretical aspects

This paper puts a conceptual framework to outline research for corporate social responsibility (CSR) audit based on the analysis of current CRS literature and audit models as implementation of CSR. It is intended to make clear the phenomena about the relationship between audit, implementation of business ethics principles and corporate governance. However, most studies do not take into account modify CSR audit. This paper reports part of a research we carried out on the theoretical interpretation of the corporate social responsibility audit. This paper examines the corporate social responsibility audit as a composition of four categories - management system audits, on-site audits, verbal probability expressions (VPE) audits and technology audits. The paper concludes suggests to systematize multiple audits so that they can be conduct in three types of audits - environmental management audits covering in-house companies, environmental technology audits of products, and environmental audits of sites, including non-manufacturing sites and non-consolidated subsidiaries.

Principles of business ethics as determinants of organizational culture in sport organizations

Modern business and lifestyle environment, in which the idea of globalization is intensively imposed (often with the concept of 'nolens volens'), while economics and politics (with an unexpected development of information technologies) have become an absolutely dominant social context, has resulted in an evident 'disturbance' of the traditionally established value system. Additionally, the overall morality has eroded, which affected the area of sport in all its spheres (in a broader context, it can be directed towards determinants of phenomenology of sport immorality). That has, of course, led to a necessary and strong need for its revitalization and the reestablishment of ethic values to the focus of spiritual human interests. Because of that, all the events and all the changes that happen or are predicted for sport development and sport activities, should be carefully monitored in the domain of spots ethics, which can help to trace true, human directions that are to be confirmed in praxis. Every sport system should have its business foundation in the essential determinants of its mission and sport spirit. From the moral viewpoint, sport business (sport management) should, as its starting point, have an idea that, in the end, an honest access pays off, i.e. it is not necessary to be dishonest to succeed (although in present global world, where Machiavellian business ethics dominates, it sounds rather unreal). Basically, the work relies on theoretical explication of basic determinants which create principles of business ethics in sport organizations. Additionally, the work relies on conceptual implications of meaningful research of business processes which determine sport organizations as subjects in the service sector.

Disaster management: an ethical review and approach

There has been a great deal of research devoted to the general topic of disaster response. Not surprisingly, the bulk of this research has been conducted by researchers in the fields of emergency medicine, emergency response, and public policy. While a great deal of useful clinical and applied knowledge has been obtained from these studies, this paper is focused more narrowly on the ethics of disaster response. We suggest that principles of business ethics are similar in nature to those that should be used in response to the occurrence of disasters and propose a model of ethics that transcends business and professional ethics so that any disaster manager could rely upon these principles to make good, defensible moral judgements in the management of a disaster.

Understanding the Role of Moral Principles in Business Ethics: A Kantian Perspective

ABSTRACT:Does effective moral judgment in business ethics rely upon the identification of a suitable set of moral principles? We address this question by examining a number of criticisms of the role that principles can play in moral judgment. Critics claim that reliance on principles requires moral agents to abstract themselves from actual circumstances, relationships and personal commitments in answering moral questions. This is said to enforce an artificial uniformity in moral judgment. We challenge these critics by developing an account of principle-based moral judgment that has been widely discussed by contemporary Kantian scholars. In so doing we respond to some basic problems raised by so-called “moral particularists” who voice theoretical objections to the role of principles as well as to contemporary business ethicists who have criticized principle-based moral judgment along similar lines. We conclude with some future areas of research.
