Being Ethical is a part of the IIM Ahmedabad Business Books, an expert on strategic management, Dr. S. Manikutty, explores why and how businesses should be ethical in the execution of their decisions. Summary of the Book Businesses are known for many things, but never for being ethical. Ethics has often led to the downfall of businesses, and as the Nobel Prize winning economist, Milton Friedman said, is the corporate social responsibility of a company just to make profits? In this book, Dr. Manikutty explores how a business can be ethical and still make profits, how one can find a balance between multiple right or wrong choices and how coming to a solution isn't the end of the game but how coming to a compromise often is. The book discusses a large number of examples and case studies which showcases how businesses survive in the ugly world of corporates, and how they keep their conscience too, building progress through decisions which keep ethics in view.
