"Good ethics is good business. We've been told this for years. It makes sense. It's obvious to many--but not to Amitai Etzioni. Yes, better ethics can lead to happier employees, greater trust among customers, better relations with the community, and, in the end, greater profit. But, according to Etzioni, founder and director of The Communitarian Network, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that promotes social responsibility, the argument that we should be ethical in order to enhance the bottom line is at the heart of much of the public's lost trust in Corporate America." (ACROSS THE BOARD) This interview with Amitai Etzioni includes a discussion of the reasons why people in business should act ethically.
