Introducing ethics into management is not an easy task, the main difficulty is that ethics
is not just another skill or idea that can be added to a manager's list of competencies. The
ethical approach is not the kind of whipped cream that can be put on an organization's cake.
Ethics is about who you are and about how you will run your business. Ethics is a basic
component that must be owned by a manager. Not only basic components, but also important
components that enable managers to carry out their duties properly. Ethics should be placed
at the core of good management.

Ethics in its meaning is a norm or rule that is used as a guide in behaving in society for
someone related to good and bad traits. Ethics can also be interpreted as something related to
consideration of decisions, whether or not an action is right because there are no laws or
regulations that regulate what must be done. Ethics is always about making decisions, and
some problems are hard to solve. A manager in carrying out his duties will often be faced
with difficult choices that will relate to moral ethics in society. In this choice, it is not
impossible to risk personal careers and the fate of the company.

In general, according to Frans Magnis Suseno (1991:68), ethics are systematically

divided into general ethics and special ethics. In addition, ethics is also distinguished
between individual ethics and social ethics. General ethics discusses the basic principles of
morals. While special ethics apply the basic principles of morals in each area of life. Then
individual ethics contains human obligations towards oneself. Furthermore, social ethics talks
about human obligations as members of humanity.

From the book Management Ethics: Placing Ethics at the Core of Good Management by
Domènec Melé says Ethics does not contribute to good management by ensuring a better
bottom line, though it often may have this effect. Even the best financial results will not be a
‘good’ result if they were obtained by damaging human beings; as Melé says: “Acting
without ethics can be astute and cunning management, but it is not good management”
(Melé, 2012:21). Other important points along these lines, which the author makes
repeatedly, and which help define his ethical position, are that ethics is primarily about doing
good, not just about avoiding wrong; that morality is intrinsic to managerial action, and not
just an extrinsic addition to it; and that people are not just resources for business, but
primarily persons with human dignity and innate rights.

Ethics is closely related to social responsibility. This social responsibility needs to be

considered and is very important in creating business ethics.Community demands and the
development of democracy as well as the swift currents of globalization and free markets,
raise awareness from the business world about the importance of social responsibility.

Social responsibility itself is an ongoing commitment by the business world to act

ethically and contribute to the economic development of the local community or society at
large. In addition, the implementation of social responsibility is part of good corporate
governance which should be encouraged through an ethical approach and a market approach.
