| Tiivistelmä: | Business ethics is often regarded as low priority in newly formed democracies because it seems there are more urgent demands that have to be dealt with first. It is argued that this perception is not only wrong, but also dangerous. A lack of morality in business can undermine exactly those priorities that newly formed democracies regard as most urgent. Morality in business is a precondition for the legitimacy of a market economy as well as for excellence in a global market economy. It is argued that ethics in business is also a precondition for establishing a legitimate political democracy. The necessity of moral business behavior is advocated, and the main stumbling blocks that impede the development of moral business culture in newly formed democracies such as South Africa are discussed. Measures that can be taken to foster the development of moral business culture in these countries are discussed. |
