Abstract

Business ethics is an area growing in importance for business managers. Research in the USA suggests that three‐quarters of major corporations have specific codes of ethics, and in the UK some 40 per cent (and increasing) of major organisations have codes of ethics. This article explains a survey on corporate ethics undertaken in the UK and points to some reasons why firms choose to have codes of ethics, and why some firms do not. It concludes by suggesting that further research is needed, especially on the perceived benefits of a corporate code of ethics to organisations.

Abstract

Based on a survey of the Times Top 200 companies, the use, content and attitudes of formal corporate codes of ethics in some of the largest British enterprises are empirically analysed. Looking at the rationale for and against the introduction of codes of ethics, a large number of industry comments are examined. Other processes available to deal with ethical issues are discussed and comparisons are made between companies with formal codes of ethics and those without. The findings are related to the primarily US‐based literature on business ethics, and directions for future research are suggested.

Abstract

On April 2, 1987, IBM unveiled a series of long‐awaited new hardware and software products. The new computer line, dubbed the Personal Systems 30, 50, 60, and 80, seems destined to replace the XT and AT models that are the mainstay of the firm's current personal computer offerings. The numerous changes in hardware and software, while representing improvements on previous IBM technology, will require users purchasing additional computers to make difficult choices as to which of the two IBM architectures to adopt.
