Business Ethics and Golden Rule Summary

The highest level of application of ethical or moral values in business is management

morale. In moral management, ethical values and morality are placed at the highest
standard level of all forms of behavior and business activity. Managers who belong to
this type only accept and adhere to the rules that apply but also used to put ethical
principles in leadership. A manager belonging to this type wants to profit in his
business, but only if the business he runs legally and also does not violate the ethics
that exist in the community, such as justice, honesty, and passion to comply with
applicable law. The law for them is seen as a minimum of ethics that they must obey
so that their activities and business goals will be directed beyond what is called a
lawsuit. A moral manager always looks at and uses ethical principles like fairness,
truth, and golden rule as a guide in all business decisions he or she takes.

Corporate leaders usually face a challenge in the business of taking a stand on the
judgments of the social market economy, demonstrating the company's responsibility
to show people's trust in a business integrity in the right way, and competent in a
company, in which employees contribute long term for the company. According to
the concept of ethics according to Kant, the act of morality must come from the
obligation, not from desire. Where people expect moral behavior to not generate
profit for themselves but for the crowd or inconvenience for themselves. Thus, the
relationship of morality to self-interest is seen as a conflict that occurs between what
is taught morality and what is personal interest. Viewed in a general way, morals can
not force individuals to combat their personal interests. Where, individuals are not
only moral beings, but also beings who have biological, psychological, and social
aspects. If morality is applied, it must be in harmony with self-interest. Where, in the
time of Aristotle, morality has the purpose of directing personal interests in order to
produce a successful life. In this case, there must be a sacrifice.

The Implementation of Business Ethics and the Golden Rule of the Information
Technology Cases

As we know the development of information technology world took place very

quickly. With these developments are expected to be able to maintain and improve the
standard of human life. Many things that tantalize humans to be successful in the field
of information technology but not enough to rely on Science and Technology, humans
must also deepen the code of ethics science, technology, and life. Many scholars have
discovered that technology takes over the human mental function, at the same time
there is a loss caused by the loss of that function from human mental work. Changes
that occur in the way of thinking as a result of the technological development of
human beings a little more influential on the implementation and human perspective
on ethics and norms in life.

Ethical issues are also gaining attention in the development and use of information
systems. As in the case of PT. KAI's fraud in presenting these financial statements is a
form of fraud that can mislead investors and other stakeholders. The case is also
linked to issues of ethical infringement of information technology. PT. KAI
manipulated data in its 2005 financial statements, the state-owned company posted a
profit of 6.9 billion. In fact, the company actually suffered a loss of 63 billion. In such
cases crimes committed in the field of information technology with the method of the
computer, crime is data fraud is the simplest method. This method involves changing
data before or during the entry process to the computer.

If the case is linked the Golden Rule theory has been a violation. Where the company
has misused its integrity to maintain and increase public trust, the auditors do not take
on their professional responsibilities with the highest possible integrity. Integrity
requires a person to be honest and honest without sacrificing service secrets. Public
service and trust should not be overwhelmed by personal gain.

A company member or an audit of the case must respect the information obtained
during professional service and may not use or disclose such information without
consent unless there is a professional or legal right or obligation to disclose it. Where
members have an obligation to respect the confidentiality of information about clients
or employers obtained through professional services.

In conclusion, ethics in its development greatly affects human life. Ethics gives
people the orientation of how to live life through daily actions, ethics can be applied
in all aspects or aspects of life. According to ethics experts is nothing but the rules of
behavior, the customs of human beings in the association among themselves and
affirms which is good and bad. Business ethics in the company has a very important
role, namely to form a company that is strong and has a high competitiveness and
have the ability to create high value, needed a solid foundation. Starting from strategic
planning, good organization, transparent system procedure supported by reliable
corporate culture and corporate ethics that consistently and consistently implemented.
