3CORPORATE GOVERNANCE & ETHICSIntroduction:Ethics are certain moral duties that help to systemise a work or culture anddifferentiate in between the right and wrong (Shafer-Landau, 2014). Ethics are defined asgood habit by the Greek anthropologists. It concentrates on the human morality and classifiedinto three parts such as meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. According toRushworth Kidder, ethics helps to find out the morality within a human being. In the wordsof Larry Churchill, ethics direct the human action and maintain the human capacity. Moralagents are the person who separate the positive from the negative and decide their actionbased on that. The main objective of the moral agents is to observe the situation so that nounjustified harm can take place (Forcehimes, 2015). The executive members of a companyare playing the role of moral agents and their duty is to take a vision on the company affairsIn case of any wrong activity, they should have to give necessary advice to the managementin order to avoid the unjustified harm. The proper approach of the moral agents regarding ethics is to be determined andaccording to the philosophers, moral agents follow the normative ethics (May, 2017).Normative theories help the moral agents to point out the right and wrong action. However,normative theory can be divided into certain parts such as utilitarianism, categoricalimperative, virtue ethics and intuitionism. Ethical decision of the moral agents is multi-dimensional. The dimensions can be categorised as: (i) sense of social responsibility, (ii)organisational culture, and (iii) organisational policies taken by the moral agents. It has beenobserved that there are certain companies, where the moral agents had not maintained theethical approaches and that wrong activity led the company towards its winding up process.This report will discuss about such two companies and will point out the duty and role of themoral agents and ethical dimensions to denote their action.
