49. Business and Morality

Этика - translated from Greek means the philosophical doctrine of morality, its principles, norms and role in society (E. Hegel).

Morality - this is a set of principles and norms of people's behavior in relation to each other and to society (Modern Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language. M., 2004).

In entrepreneurial activity, ethics and morality are expressed in the highly moral behavior of businessmen in the process of conducting various business operations.

An entrepreneur should create an image of a decent and honest person, following the principles of high morality. Most often, many aspiring entrepreneurs are not sufficiently aware that the observance of the principles of morality and ethics and the creation of the image of a decent person are the key to successful entrepreneurial activity.

Moral norms, first of all, are based on the honor and conscience of a person. You cannot force a businessman to be a highly moral person. He must feel these qualities in himself, have his own convictions in this regard.

Business It is an entrepreneurial activity that generates income.

In the process of entrepreneurial activity, there is an exchange between people of money, goods, resources, services, various results of activity. For both parties involved in the exchange, the first imperative principle of fair business must be the rules of equivalence and equivalence.

As a result of compliance with these rules, there is a fair exchange between participants in a business transaction, as a result of which each participant remains in a winning position.

In business, there should be no deceit, dishonest behavior, non-compliance with the principles of human morality and ethics, since the activity of an entrepreneur is associated with risk.

Many entrepreneurs enter into transactions not documented, but only in words, having secured the word of honor of the participant in the operation. Guaranteeing each other the observance of the rules of honesty and decency in the process of conducting an operation, entrepreneurs have the opportunity to receive not only good profits, but also create an image of decent people and partners for themselves.

Unfortunately, there are people in business for whom there are no rules of respectable relations. They do not observe any civil, religious or human laws of morality. Theft, deceit, bribery and extortion are not vices, but virtues.

Most often, novice entrepreneurs who need to acquire initial capital in order to start entrepreneurial activities resort to deception and theft. People without morals resort to immoral ways of doing business, justifying this by saying that any means are good to achieve goals. Immoral business is an acute problem in the social society.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Ruby chocolate 07.09.2017

Swiss confectionery manufacturer Barry Callebaut has announced that their scientists have invented a new kind of chocolate - ruby. Scientists have isolated certain elements from cocoa beans. So they managed to get a ruby-colored dessert.

Now there are three types of chocolate that were invented back in the 1930s: black, milk and white. If the manufacturer manages to prove that ruby chocolate does not contain additional flavors or dyes, then a fourth type will appear in the world.

According to the company, their scientists have been working on this type of chocolate for years. They isolated certain elements and created confections with a "berry-fruity and juicy smoothness".

Barry Callebaut assured that the chocolate does not contain any artificial additives or berries and hopes that it will be a hit among sweet lovers.
