REFLECTION REVIEW 2
Introduction
The reflection is based on the term change in ethics, sustainability and responsibility and
corruption. The reflection review creates with the opening paragraph of the word and the
importance in the business operation of present time. It is made by the brief explanation of
my knowledge of this term before study and the visualization got after the study. The
reflection review finishes with the conclusion of the knowledge achieved by various studies
of the terms ethics, responsibilities and sustainability by reading the module ‘Tackling Global
Local Challenges in the Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability.’ I was not aware about the
words ethics, responsibilities and sustainability before I found it in the books, journals and
module. After considering the books, journals and module, I got the specific mean of these
terms. It is felt by me that these terms are new and popular due to the trend for techniques and
the race in business operations in the recent time.
Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability, and corruption-
With the help of module ‘Tackling Global Local Challenges in the Ethics, Responsibility and
Sustainability’, I came to know that the terms Ethics, Responsibility and Sustainability are
old. There are important part of the CSR and ethics in today’s anti- corrupt business
environment. I found that the CSR is organisation’s responsibility to influence the judgment
and the actions of the societies, the environment, and the achievement of the decisions and
activities. The responsible, transparent, justifiable process not only carries make the image
and name of the brand. It also supports communities and markets or anti-corrupt business
environment An effective plan related to business entrenched in the corporate culture that
states beliefs, morals, principles, and the targets of the corporation by the application related

corporate social responsibility will assist intentionally create the anti-corrupt environment
and have extensive. This is all about the company and administration of the obligations in
respect of the interests and the advantages of the society, in which they do business.
My learning says that ethics, the business ethics means procedure of practical morals and
business. It evaluates the moral value, belief, moral issues, and ethical challenge that can
arise in the working environment. It applies to all the aspects of the business conduct and is
important to personal performance and whole organisations responsibility and sustainability
are very necessary for the information and making performance to make connection between
the societies, education, an economy, and the anti-corrupt environment. It is evaluated by the
business ethics the moral beliefs or the challenges related to corruption that rise in the
working atmosphere. It applies to all the aspects of business conduct and involves the
individuals and behaviour of the companies completely. The main target is to identify the
challenges related to corruption. The corruption is considered as biggest challenge, which
overthrows the efforts made by the countries, mainly in making develop world, to the
justifiable growth and in the direction of the advancement and firming the self-governing the
organisations and morals. It is argued that the tactical decisions are authoritative and good
governance architecture is referred to give the solutions related to the functioning to control
the corruption, immoral behaviour, and the culture of liberty (Silberberg, et. al, 2015).
I have found that the business feasibility is regularly described as handling three-way bottom
line the process with the help if which corporations handle the common risk, financial risks,
and environmental threats, duties, and chances. These three aspects are mainly considered as
profit, planets, and individuals. According to me, the business sustainability refers as
corporate sustainability. It is the administration and management of environmental
requirements, financial requirements, social needs, and apprehensions to make sure liable,
ethical, and continuing achievement. In the broad framework, the environmental requirement,

REFLECTION REVIEW 4
social need and economic demand are measured the three supports of the business
sustainability. Surrounded by the world of corporate, they are considered as the three-way
extremity line. This idea is the parting from the old-style perception of this end line that
analyses all determinations in respect of the short-range effect on benefits.
After reading the module, I found that the respect of the difficult outstanding social problems
from changes in the climate, old, energy evolution, the process to the dependability of global
commercial markets, institutes related to business around the world are responding to the
increasing need of the participants, executives and the stakeholders by striking these issues
noticeable and centre. The corporate responsibilities have gone internationally. It has secured
the deliberation of leaders of business, governments, and the NGOs to the extra opportunity.
Increasingly, the main point to be considered is that the business has key and positive role in
talking about big worldwide problems related to the corruption. However, it is frequently
demanded that business has the liabilities to assist the major problems and, surely, it may be
the only company capable of effectively specifying the problems properly. I also realized that
the working solutions that include the financial and organisational reform, deterrence
approaches, implementation, administrative desire, clearness, responsibility, general
involvements the rule of law or republic space drives more to root cause of difficulties than
acceptable norms do.
Role of leadership and partnership in approaching the ethical issues-
My research has revealed that as per the particular procedure of leadership, the system
leadership is required to handle the international issues related to the corruption in
government. These issues are not so simple. These national issues are so difficult and
comprehensive, entrenched in activities and network of varied however united, inter-reliant
shareholders. The leader in the corporation, civil societies, and government increasingly

REFLECTION REVIEW 5
recognise that they cannot be specified in the top-down, determined straight style and that
marker resolutions do not work (Strand, Freeman and Hockerts, 2015). I realized that the
corruption is an obstacle to the growth. The corruption weakens the constancy and protection.
It corrodes the fait and self-assurance of the public. Some malicious influences of the
corruption are the deficiency of the excellence necessary service, the absence of public
structures and the bad administration of sources, or, further usually the bad governance. The
concerns of exploitation are tolerated by deprived people.
I came to know from the module that any approach to control wrong or immoral conduct and
corruption should state issues of moral governance. The reasons are that the good governance
is the final construction for lessening the corruption and culture of the freedom. The
approaches framed to battle the immoral conduct and corruption should be great strategy for
making focus on the financial and the organisational reforms. The self-controlled staff, which
is skilled, creative, attentive, determined and directed by the proper code of conduct that is
enforceable making sure obedience, effectiveness, and above all responsibility is required to
establish the anti-corruption organisations. In new republics and developing world, the
present organisations are still frail and economy still fodders dependence, nevertheless
lavishness of regular sources that the nations can be able. The meaningful strategies to fight
corruption and immoral conduct should go deeper, evaluate the issues convincingly, and
come up with the all-inclusive strategy to resolve the culture of freedom. The other strategy is
to take the noticeable approach on the avoidance and implementation in the against of
corruption. (Crane, and Matten, 2016).
After reading the module, I understood that on anticipation approaches, these need
interactions, and participation of all shareholders to compete well against immoral conduct
and exploitation. The part of civil societies should be simply well described in a approach
document, as must role of secluded sectors, the public sectors, the broadcasting, and

REFLECTION REVIEW 6
oversight bodies. These are inter-reliant and changes should be normal, an organisation or
area may not serve to check the exploitation. The approach document must clearly distribute
duties for every member in approach. While implementation, nations are required to authorise
the lapse bodies with the essential authorities to carry the command without excessive effect
or intervention, particularly where exploitation is obvious in high levels of societies. Those
implementing law should be provided the clear order and security to release the duties with
protection of tenancy that is fastened in the Constitution. Political willpower is essential to
make sure that anti-corruption approaches and the legal structure to control exploitation bring
outcomes that fulfil the hopes or desires of shareholders.
I recognised the facts that the good governance design is the keystone of the positive
approach to control the corruption and immoral behaviour. The construction has six different
features, or pillars, that should be personified in any approach, which is all-inclusive and
comprehensive. The political will is major support. The political members are not involved in
battle against exploitation. However, they are involved in looking for fight corruption. There
is the requirement to have the philosophy of true and moral leadership and not the philosophy
of great people, as it is occasionally addressed. The Political desire is about honest leadership
that gives the ethical scope for the nation. The leadership must include acting with honesty
and in the straightforward and honest way. The leaders who ignore conflict of interest and
state the interest up front, before taking participation in decisions making or creating policies,
is the important. The most significant thing to consider that the applicable rules of the
international code of conducts stated prior, to highlight significance and position of evading
clashes of interest in release of common functions
There is rising identification that solid personal system leadership and organisational system
leadership, maintained by the well-built communicating frameworks, are most significant at
centre level. The necessity extents businesses, civil groups and government, however

REFLECTION REVIEW 7
struggles to determine procedural changes may not be supported without real management
from overseeing the leaders and related ministries, or without clear arrangements between
national growth priority, approaches related to the marketing and the general procedure.
Country-led, country-based interactive structures that take stakeholders together across the
segments with clear reasons of encouraging the statements, co-operation and organise the
activities, can assist to get the essential arrangement.
It is also found by me that to handle the global issues in local societies, it is required to
establish, apply, and scale up miscellaneous, interconnecting resolutions that mutually
transform complete system and people are require to ordinary system leaderships to get this. I
also came to know that the members of state of United Nations applied the maintainable
expansion objects, fixed on seventeen global issues. The state members of United Nations
endorsed historic contracts to handle the changes in working environment and establish the
finance for development. To know this determined commitment, it is required more than
previous to unite knowledge of field and technical skills with capacity to determine and react
based on system. I realize that the companies, government, and common society’s relations
need expanding and recompensing the numerous people with the still comparatively
uncommon combination of the skill set and mindset. These groups or companies should take
the internal administrative structure, procedures and respite models to become extra capable
at functioning in the partnerships and by broad networking. In addition, they should create
long-term reserve in communicating structure, which provide to create strong interaction,
administration and partnership amongst them to avoid the problems like corruption
(Schaltegger and Burritt, 2018).
I that the sustainable, including business expansion and individual development on the basis
of capacity to handle various difficult international issues and make changes for long lasting.
The businesses, local groups, and government, share the interest to tackle these challenges.

REFLECTION REVIEW 8
The companies that follow the similar, can stay in front of developing trends, increase the
working atmosphere, handle risk, reduce costs, make stronger reasonable positions, and
create the new market. The governments and local societies must require the same to meet the
obligation and targets (Carroll, et. al, 2014). It is found by me that in 2015, 193members of
the state of the United Nations General Assembly dedicated to link crosswise the national and
sector restricts to state 17challenges, officially taking the 2030 Agendas for the development,
pursued by acceptance of the Paris contract in context of the United Nations Structure
Conventions on the changes of climate. Both past international agreements are evidence not
only to global relationship and teamwork, but to supreme dialogues and conversation
between politicians, businesses, and the leaders of civil societies.
Further, I came to learn that these issues are problematic and universal. They have raised over
the period, from the actions and communication of different yet consistent, mutually
dependent shareholders. And these shareholders should alter the manner they work at the
international level, state level, and resident level in order to solve the issues. The broad
educational and consultant literature creates it clear that handling difficult, systemic issues of
the corruption is the circulated, adaptive procedure. Top-down, controlled and linear
strategies do not operate. The reason is that no one person or company has proper knowledge,
resources, or specialists over others in the systems. In its place, the answers seem as changed
individual and association experiments, learn, and accept in the restrictions, which are always
changing as the outcome of efforts of other people(Andrade, Gollob and Dutra, 2014).
The vision of where nation is captioning is significant to the proper leadership. when visions
are vibrant, the leadership would highlight the outcomes, which would have helpful influence
on wealth of individuals. The approach to stop exploitation would observe the values in the
concept that there is a continuing certainty that the particular manner of behaviour is in my

REFLECTION REVIEW 9
opinion and informally or cooperatively necessary. When it is placed, it would raise the
common faith and self-assurance in the selected governments.
As per the studies, the specific procedure of leadership or system leadership is required to
step up the procedure and make sure that it renders more maintainable, including
development of business and personal growth at scale. According to the research made by
Peter Senge at Massachussetts Institute for Technology, Hal Hamilton at Sustainable Food
Lab, and John Kania at FSG, the basic part of system leadership is to “advance combined
leaderships.” It must happen at different level like the organisational level, personal level and
interactive level.
My learning says that to tackle the various difficult, general issues we feature; the system
leadership should come into the major stream (Kirton and Maclaren, 2018). It creates this
significant to recognise and understand from the system leadership examples in practices.
There are rising numbers, range from state level alliance to worldwide, and problem-
highlighted initiative to enhance the right of entry to healthcare, nourishment, learning, power
and more. There is arising focus on the concept of national ownership for applying national
expansion targets, ‘local source mobilization’ to make funding for expansion and ‘commonly
decided contribution’ to handle the changes of climate. These form the centre accountability
and chance for the leadership simply at the national stage, though successful worldwide
authority and worldwide sustenance remain significant (Medvedev, 2015).
Moreover, it is found by me that the System leadership begins with a single leader. The
leaders are the people with high-level honesty. For the honesty, it is required to have the
logical sets of principle and morals that are in route with the ethical filters. It refers to the
purity and formal morality. However, it has individual dimension, interactive dimensions and
institutional dimension. The individual dimension, interactive dimensions, and institutional

REFLECTION REVIEW 10
dimensions are equally dependent and similarly important in tackling complex and proper
issues and attaining the results we looking for. The personal system leader is an important
person who has the role of leadership in the company not only for the personal profit,
however for advantages of broad system, where it operate, identifying that in lengthy period,
the two are inseparably connected. The Individual system leaders-
1. Who involve and motivate others, whose values, morals and conducts are at centre of
organisational changes(Carroll and Buchholtz, 2014);
2. Who play the role as champion of changes in the companies, frequently demanding and
approaching the companies or communities to establish and accept the new manners of
working and working with other people;
3. Render and assemble support for the framework of interactive leadership.
The main point noticed by me that the institutional system leader is the company that follows
the personal interest in the way well-matched with, and that deliberately give to the strength
of institutional system leader, where it works. The difficult and universal issues or challenges
are entrenched in the activities and communications of present companies. They may only be
stated, when the companies work in the manner that advantages system completely The
companies may strengthen the system, where they operate in the three procedures, and
important companies regularly use these dimensions, whether in sequence or concurrently-
Initially, with the partial efforts to innovate and affect other people like establishing new
products, techniques, businesses, policies, common services supply model and rules. Second,
through partnership on the basis of assignment that influence the sources and capacities of
other people to aid grow and scales innovation which would not be possible, or minimum not
efficient, to do personally (Grafton, et. al, 2016). Lastly, during broad network that connect
different organisations, intensify their voice, bring into line the hard work, and make possible

REFLECTION REVIEW 11
teamwork to fulfil the general requirements like fundamental research, common framework,
and formation of original institution for the communicating leadership (Isenhour,
O’Reilly,and Yocum, 2016).
The global ethic is based on principles of humanity and fundamental norms of non-violence,
justice, accuracy and partnership (Evans, Jones, and Prendergast, 2016). To be authentically
human in the fortitude of the great religious and moral customs refers the following: we
require common respect, partnerships, and mutual understanding, in the place of patriarchal
powers and humiliation, which are expression of aggression and provoke counter-violence.
Each person has inherent solemnity and absolute right, and each also has an unavoidable
liability for what they do and they do not do (Morris and Rushwan, 2015). I understood that
clean leadership is all about faith and nurturing trust that is at the centre of the relation
between people and the governments. This is significant regarding the services given to the
citizens and affects their lives and freedoms.
Conclusion
In this way, it is concluded that present issues need new philosophers, future top experts, and
public leaders to resolve disasters at national and international level. It is necessary to have
the relationship among government, science, and communities. It is required to have the
knowledge effects of general problem-solving power. A person must apply practical
knowledge to challenge in real world. The important thing is to reveal the personal leadership
capacities on the basis of learning and valuable vision.
