EVOLUTION OF BUSINESS ETHICS

The history of the evolution of ethics is essentially the history of sensibility

and intelligence coming to life. To move toward the ethical and legal is to move away from the primitive. There is a dynamic relationship between the evolution of rules, concern for human survival, and the need for increasing systemic efficiency. The evolution of ethical systems is a natural result of this relationship.

Ethical issues and society - examples

• Involvement in the community
• Honesty, truthfulness and fairness in marketing
• Use of animals in product testing
• Agricultural practices e.g. intensive faming
• The degree of safety built into product design
• Donation to good causes
• The extent to which a business accepts its alleged responsibilities for mishaps, spillages and
• leaks
• The selling of addictive products e.g. tobacco
• Involvement in the arms trade
• Trading with repressive regimes

InstituteofBusinessEthics Suggestions for Good Practice

The Institute recommends that organizations issue statements of ethical practice in respect of:

• Relations with customers
• Relations with shareholders and other investors
• Relations with employees
• Relations with suppliers
• Relations with the government and the local community
• The environment
• Relations with competitors
• Issues relating to international business
• Behaviour in relations to mergers and takeovers
• Ethical issues concerning directors and managers

Assignment  

What were the consequences of the failure of the War of Independence of 1857 with special reference to its effect on the Muslims of South Asia? 

Solution:

Prior to the revolt, it is strictly speaking inaccurate to speak of British rule in India. The legal status of the East India Company was as agent of the Mughul Emperor with taxation powers and trading privileges. De facto, however, within the Province of Bengal, they operated as the Government and indeed the senior British official was entitled "Governor-General." Through a series of treaties with surrounding Indian princes and rulers, the Company extended its power throughout huge tracts of Indian territory. One cause of the revolt was the Company's policy of annexing Princely states with which they enjoyed a treaty relationship when they decided that the ruler was corrupt, or because they did not recognize the heir to the throne (such as an adopted son, who could succeed under Hindu law but not British law). There was also a rumor that Britain intended to flood India with Christian missionaries, and that pork and beef grease was being used to oil the new Enfield rifle that had been issued to the Indian troops. The latter appears to have been what motivated both Hindu and Muslim Sepoys (that is, Indian soldiers of the Company) to revolt.

In the year 1857, the British Army inducted a new type of rifle, the Enfield, whose cartridge was said to be greased in cow and pig fat. Hindus consider the cow a sacred animal and refrain from eating beef, while Muslims consider it an offense to consume pork. The entire Indian faction of the British Army rose in rebellion against the British. Soon, the flames spread and it turned into a full-fledged rebellion. 

There were two major reasons behind the failure of the war. Lack of unity between the various classes of people in the Indian subcontinent and the enormous strength of the British force. There is no single reason why the war failed to fulfill its goals. The elaborated reasons are as follows.

Lack of unity- The landed aristocracy Opposed the Sepoy and some even fed information to the British regarding the Sepoy's movement. In addition to that, some Landed aristocracy helped the British by providing carts, horses and elephants. Furthermore they even formed anti Sepoy corps to resist the Sepoy s. The British acknowledged this and presented titles such as Khan Sahib to the Landed aristocracy. Seeing this the middle class also sided the British. Moreover the lower class and the peasantry remained apathetic, because, they were the ones who were affected the most by the ongoing war, so the did not want any more trouble.

Strength of the British- Despite all other problems the Sepoy s did give all their effort, however, the british were just too strong for them. Britain was one of the most wealthiest nations at that time and its troops were highly trained for skilled warfare. Moreover the availability of better armaments was another benefit for the British over the Sepoy. The British also implemented its scheme of divide and conquer, by daunting the landed aristocracy, it claimed that the uprising would spell a major threat to the social hierarchy.  

Both the reasons stated above contribute equally to the, to the massive failure of the Sepoys. However. If there would be some unity between the different classes, it can be assumed that the British could possibly be defeated. 

The war was localised-Many parts of India were not effected by the war at all.Punjab remained absolutely unaffected,rulers like Sindhiya,the Pathans,the Gorkhas and the Nizam of Hyderabad supported the British.Even Sindh,Rajashthan and Bengal remained unaffected. 

And at the last i must say that war of independence failed due to the several reasons: 

Firstly the lack of unity among the Indian peoples, they were not coordinated in what they hoped to achieve, there was no common platform and different ruler of different region fought for different reasons. 

Another reason was that the prince were more interested in restoring their feudal power instead to established a unite India. The strong reason for the failure of the war of independence was the strength of British. They were well experienced in warfare and highly trained. They had modern equipment tools and had modern method of fighting.Although there were strong uprising againts the British but were uncoordinated.  

These reasons contributed towards the failure if war of independence of 1857.

Draw the use case diagram of the following scenario


As System Analyst at Pakistan Railways, you need to model a Ticket Selling System for Terminal computers (TSSTC). Reading the Functional Specification of the system, you draw the following conclusions:

The main purpose of TSSTC is to use it for searching the "Train Timings" and purchasing the train tickets.




> TSSTC consists of touch screen as an interface between passenger and system, credit-card reader and a printer to print tickets.

> Each passenger uses available interface to search the available routs and train times from which he selects one train.

> After he selects the train, the terminal screen displays the available seats in that train.

> The passenger selects the seat and the system prompts the total fare.

> The payment is then made by credit card (using credit-card reader).

> The system confirms the payment. If the payment is not confirmed, system displays an error message and transaction is terminated.

> If the payment is confirmed, the ticket is issued and printed by the printer, from where the passenger collects his ticket.

Question No. 1

If you have an umbrella, suddenly you have to face a rain storm with a strong wind, what determines the best position in which to hold an umbrella?                       Marks = 3

Answer:

The raindrops have a vertical velocity relative to the ground & you have a horizontal velocity when moving relative to the ground & so the raindrops can penetrate "under" the umbrella & wet your legs.

Question # 2

Does Newton‘s second law hold true for an observer in a car as it speeds up, slows down or rounds a corner?  

Answer: Marks = 5 

Yes it holds true.  An inertial reference frame is one in which Newton's First Law of Motion, the Law of Inertia, holds true. In such a frame, objects which have no force acting on them move in straight lines, with constant speed. Any deviation from such a motion is presumed to be due to a force whose magnitude and direction can be deduced by applying Newton's Second Law of Motion, the Force Law, to observations of that deviation. 

An observer who is at rest is in an inertial reference frame, and observers who are not at rest, but are moving with uniform (unchanging, straight-line) motion are also in inertial reference frames. Any acceleration, whether a change in speed, a change of direction (such as, in the example above, our motion around the Earth's axis of rotation), or both, puts observers who share in that acceleration in an ac  The observer inside the car, however, tends to use the car as his reference frame, just the same as if it were still at rest, and since it is accelerating, will perceive things differently from the observer who really is at rest. celerated reference frame.
