Ideally, a good mission statement also provides information regarding the organization’s overall management philosophy, its business model, its technical and social competencies, and its values and beliefs (Aguinis, 2009; Azaddin, 2011; Bart & Hupfer, 2004; Covin, Slevin, & Schultz, 1994). Moreover, to make mission statements of large companies more individually relevant, Azaddin (2011) advocates flexible “guiding statements” that account for the “context, culture, structure, and needs of an organization” (p. 31). Thus, a mission statement must be meaningful and applicable to all stakeholders for strategic decision-making to be effective.

“Past research suggests that organizations must rely on their cultural environment to promote employee ethicality” (Sekerka, 2014). Corporate policies communicate organizational values and offer standardized guidance to employees for exhibiting acceptable behaviors and attitudes. In order for an ethics training program to be successful the following must be present, “help people understand ethical judgment philosophies and decision-making heuristics; address areas of ethical concern within their industry/profession; teach the organization’s ethical expectations and rules; help people to understand their own ethical tendencies; take a realistic view, while also elaborating on difficulties in ethical decision making; and have people use the material in the workplace, then

The issue of ethical behaviour has dominated the political and business landscape over the past decades. The unethical behaviour in the workplace originates from a lack of actions when ethical lapses occur in social media, TV news, and viral videos. The article “Creating an Ethical Culture” seeks to recommend a solution to employee’s unethical behavior and unethical decision making. Since culture provides insights into employees’ behavior, beliefs, and values in the workplace, understanding the relationship between cultural values and employees’ ethical behaviour may offer a roadmap to fostering a strong ethical culture.

On-Line Therapy BSHS 352 On-Line Therapy Like most traditional therapies, online counseling and support could have various effects on various people. Most of those who need mental health services, they have varying personal needs and not everyone could benefit from an online support. There are also people that would find what they are looking for on online mental health services. They are also who would feel more comfortable finding restorative assistance at their own homes rather than typical doctor’s visit.

The Importance of Ethics in the Workplace In their personal and professional lives, people can and, unfortunately, sometimes do go against their moral and ethical standards. Ethical standards are what it means to be a good person, the social rules that govern our behavior. Ethics in business is essentially the study of what constitutes the right and wrong or the good or bad behavior in the workplace environment. A business is an organization whose objective is to provide goods or services for profit. The organization has a group of people that work together to achieve a common purpose. The moral challenges that these men and women face each day along with a whole range of problems that could occur, are why ethics plays such an important

 Ethics in International Business Abstract International business ethics challenges the corporate world to deal with questions of what to do in situations where ethical standards come into conflict as a result of the different cultural practices in the nation. Since, there is this dilemma that has progressively troubled the large multinational corporations,

Individuals are driven by a sense of morality, the differentiation of intentions, decisions and actions that are determined to be either proper (moral) or improper (immoral) (Morality, 2016). These moral codes or codes of conduct are derived by a person or group’s particular philosophy, religion or culture. It can also be a set of principles that a person or group believes should be universal. (Morality, 2016). Companies (as well as individuals) face the ethical challenge of how to engage and manage behavior that is deemed ethical; honest, fair and considered “good” for all stakeholders. For the individual, there is an element of self-management, understanding social and business norms and cultural differences. In terms of organizations, it is establishing and enforcing codes of conduct, training employees to meet ethical behavior and decision making and constructing working environments that promote ethical behavior and outcomes to the benefit and reputation of the company. To understand this quandary more clearly, it is important to understand the characteristics and motivations that lead to poor ethical choices and identify the potential solutions to mitigating those deficiencies, then evaluate these principles against a real-world example and determine what possible alternatives may exist to improve the environment, actions and decisions individuals, at various levels, may have contributed to a corporate ethical problem.

Mission Statement The mission statement displays the purpose of a company in the market. It also serves as reference for the objectives and intentions of a business. According to Kokemuller (n.d), “A mission statement offers insight into what company leaders view as the primary purpose for being in business. Some companies have profit-motivated missions, while others make customers a focal point” (para. 2).

A mission statement should include: • The line of business, • The purpose, • The course of action, and • The scope of the operations. • Market • Geographic operations A few examples of local mission statements are: Brandstatter "WE, at Brandstatter – Malta enjoy challenging ourselves to excel at satisfying customers through a commitment to quality – profitably."

Today, companies and organizations are aware of their sustainability as it is an important part of their establishment. Not only for the company 's image, but for the savings they can make, and for their employee’s safety.

Ethics are the rules, principles, standards, or beliefs that commonly define right and wrong. Ethics are involved in all facets of business from decision-making to budgeting, from personnel issues to leadership. Today’s managers must be able to see the ethical issues in the choices they face, make decisions within an ethical framework, and build and maintain an ethical work environment. Managers must be particularly sensitive to ethical issues because of their key role as a bridge between upper management and operating employees. For most employees, their manager is the only contact they have with middle and top management. As such, employees interpret the company’s ethical standards through the actions and words of their managers. If managers take company supplies home, cheat on maintenance reports, or engage in other unethical practices, they set a tone for their work groups that is likely to undermine all the efforts by top management to create a corporate climate of
