Beskrivelse
The purpose of this contribution is to propose some reflections and to answer some questions regarding the delicate relationship between Business and Ethics, through the presentation of business cases in economic and health matters. For example, one wonders if Business and Ethics are two concepts that are rigidly opposed and in conflict with each other, or if they represent two faces of a single reality, considering that often, in the company reality, organizations limit themselves to compliance with the rules, in order to ensure compliance with laws and regulations which, in turn, are insufficient to fully define correct behaviour by companies. In fact, companies operate every day in a complex environment in which they are called to face dilemmas on strategic issues of an economic and organizational nature, but above all ethical and moral ones, to reduce the multiple opportunistic and irresponsible behaviours, capable of causing serious damage in the short and in the long run.
Through the presentation of these cases it will be highlighted how in some of them (Michelin case) ethical values are considered essential elements of actions, decisions and behaviours even in the corporate field (an ethical and morally incorruptible leadership is fundamental to achieve results and business objectives). In other situations, on the contrary, the ethical component represents only a rhetorical slogan with no real content and not a long-term investment which, in current business practice, should be an integral part of the culture and organizational strategy.
