Subject: Re: [MTC Global] Can Ethics be enforced ?
Absolutely ethics can be enforced.
In the context of the nomenclature of the term "ethics", it means "habit or custom". Human beings as animals by birth, are trained for good habits, good thoughts and good actions. This very process is known as socialization.
Then what does ethics mean? It simply means bringing in good habits and customs. So, there is no doubt. Ethics are to be enforced.
Ethics in short are the do's and dont's. They are not right and wrong. They are just do-ables and nondo-ables, which means even a mafia gang will have its own ethics where they emphasis what is do and dont for them to practice their business. There is no right and wrong for them. But, that is their business ethics. So, the answer for the question whether ethics can be enforced is a big "yes".
If not, how did we get good habits and customs of our ancestors? How are children getting our good habits and customs as their way of life. The good habits and good customs are spread through good family and socialization systems, bad habits and bad customs are spread through bad family and socialization systems. That is the difference. So, according to me, the very concept of ethics is subjective and enforceable.

ENFORCING ETHICS, in my view, is oxymoron phrase, as much say 'forced love' You can create fear of violating code of conduct, but fear is different from conscience from which springs all ethical behaviour and conscience is necessarily voluntary by definition
Im tempted to join debate specially because teaching ethics in B-Schools is getting wider importance. I dont think ethics -voluntary moral actions or conscience, can be taught in B-School. Giving lectures or prodding wont change pupil's moral self, which is developed primarily at much younger age, shaped by parents. There is also research evidence that stories also fail to bring about 'inner' changes which must be brought about for acting ethically. I however agree with the view expressed by Prof Virender Goel earlier when he says " An unethical top management can definitely influence even an ethical person to make compromises but an ethical top management can hardly influence an unethical person" Well said
Sad, but burden of inculcating ethical values lies with Society at large (Collective Conscience) and mostly with parents. Later in life, fear alone could enforce ethical (or for that matter ANY type) behaviour, with consequence that individual will revert to his mode of behaviour , the moment fear fails to exist

Dear Sir, I think that ethics can be enforced by the other stakeholders
other than the management and the employees. By other stakeholders are those
that exist outside the organization- the customers, the suppliers, the
Investors and Lenders, the Public at large and the Regulators.
There is also the need to have strong law enforcement and the fear of
stringent punishments for willful offenders.
Best regards,

but a code of conduct can be imposed and enforced and those not able to
adhere to such code can quit the organization. I do not agree with term

Subject: [MTC Global] Can Ethics be enforced ?1. Does an individual resort
to unethical practices because the culture of his organisation encourages
him/her to carry on?· The bosses, superiors and people on the top are
encouraging malpractices therefore…Cultures overpower individuals1. Do
people generally lack faith in any principle by which life ought to be
guided? Do they become the helpless prey of forces both within and outside?
1. Can ethics be enforced?· By way of imposing compliances, regulations, and
other practices to curb malpractices, can corporations bring in ethics?Best
