Abstract
What is morality in corporation?
By definition, morality is the "principle concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior". In corporations we can apply this definition to the interactions between employees but also toward the company's objectives.
In the movie "The Corporation", we can notice how this social being has evolved during the last century. From the union of companies to a specific agent, which can act and behave, corporation became almost something with a conscience. But who says conscience must see morality because without morality a corporation adopts (very quickly) a psychopath behavior. So, making the distinction between right and wrong became essential in order to sustain both business and workforce.
In a first part we will see why corporations began to get interested in morality in the last century and what kind of rules they are using in order to be more transparent towards the public. Secondly we will analyze why workspace is a place where morality must be a priority and we will offer some clues for executives and managers to handle the everyday life of their teams. Finally, we will talk about executives themselves who can deviate from their first mission because, mainly, of the power they have in their hands.
