Sample Questions
Q1) Define values and discuss the element of corporate culture in detail.
Answer: In general, values can be thought of as those beliefs that incline us to act or to choose one way rather than another.A company's core values, for example, are those beliefs and principles that provide the ultimate guide in its decision making. Individuals can have their own personal values and, importantly, institutions also have values. A corporation's "culture" is a way of saying that a corporation has a set of identifiable values that establish the expectations for what is "normal" within that firm. These norms guide employees, implicitly more often than not, to behave in ways that the firm values and finds worthy. One important implication of this is that an individual or a corporation's set of values may lead to either ethical or unethical result. The corporate culture at Enron, for example, seems to have been committed to pushing the envelope of legality as far as possible in order to get away with as much as possible in pursuit of as much money as possible.
Q2) The crux of normative ethics is that these disciplines:
A)presuppose some underlying values.
B)describe what people do.
C)should always involve the study or discipline of ethics.
D)branch away from social ethics to personal ethics.
Answer: A
