The Ins and Outs of Ethics is a Business Week Online magazine article from May 13, 2001, it was written by Eric Wahlgren. In the article he interviews Michael Rion, the author of The Responsible Manager. Rion is also a leading business ethics advisor who consults many Standard and Poor’s 500 companies. In the article Wahlgren asks Rion why it is important for businesses to have a high ethical standard. In his responses, Rion explains that effective organizations utilize ethics programs to clearly define ethical expectations, resolve ethical issues quickly, and to remove moral constraints. Additionally, employees who understand how to deal with ethical dilemmas will also be more productive and have strong core values to guide them. According to scripture, Rions concepts are biblically sound, relevant, and desirable, proving that ethical organizational behavior is shaped and influenced by sound ethical principles.

Although I lived in San Diego for almost 9 years and have never heard of TacoTime, I agree with your assessment that it is a worthy investment based on the numbers. I’m assuming that you based your total investment required on the Traditional TacoTime restaurants located within shopping malls or strip centers. Those areas seem to be a bit cheaper overall because you only have to pay for the lease and renovation compared to a stand-alone store.

The only downside of the mall stores is that it appears they don't earn as much annually on average.

The term “ethics” is often used within business environments to promote and encourage organizational employees to make fair and honest business decisions daily. However, some scholars argue that, a majority of organizations in today’s business environment use the term “ethics” loosely to meet the current social status quo of business practices, but do not actually enforce the importance of ethical practices with their organization. In order to explore this argument further, a sample business ethics issue will be examined and a Christian worldview will be applied to the ethical issue as a method to correct the business ethical topic.

Even though the consulting offerings of these vendors are focused around their own products, there have been shown a willingness among buyers to consider them for business-oriented services. Even if these specific vendors do not become more active in this area, this buyer perception opens the door to new types of competitors, entrants, and substitutes for business

The important of leadership and ethics issues are two concepts that are interrelated linked with an organizational environment. Ultimately, all stakeholders of an organization want their leaders and organizations to be ethically sound. Bazerman & Tenbrunsel, (2011).

Ciulla (2004) argued that to achieve “good leadership,” leaders must be morally sound and as such, “ethics lies at the heart of leadership studies” (p. 18). Similarly, followers expect their leaders to be honest and ethical (Northouse, 2013). Honesty
