Chapter 2 Ethics - Silbiger, The 10-Days MBA

A company should grow business such a way that as it helps its customers success, it benefits the environment and society. It also means that a company should operate legally and ethically. In today’s increasingly transparent business world, HOW companies do things is just as important as WHAT they do.  These applied to the daily corporate activities such as transactions, booking, decision making, manufacturing, and treating people. How a company can win with integrity? 

Code of conduct plays an important law to achieve our goal. Defining and developing an effective code of conduct for organizations is a major interest to companies.  Here is some bullet points to the code of conduct I saw as an example:
