Standards Of Conduct

During the e-business boom of the 1990’s, reverse auctions became a new business tool for purchasing/procurement that promised increased reductions in supplier costs. The benefits of reverse auctions have been substantiated but not without debate. One of the debates is the ethical considerations inherent with these new business processes. Our study investigates whether reverse auctions violate corporate or professional standards of conduct. This chapter examines some of the professional standards/codes of ethics available including the Institute of Supply Chain Management (ISM) and a selected number of organizations including Dell and GE. Further, the chapter presents a framework that can help an organization determine if reverse auctions, and the way they run them, are ethical.

AbstractPromoting Private Security Company (PSC) self-regulation has become a key focus due to high profile scandals during the military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Related efforts include the Montreux Document, the International Code of Conduct for Private Security Service Providers (ICoC), American National Standards Institute/ASIS certification, and the new International Standards Organization (ISO) Management System Standard for Private Security Operations. Implicit in industry self-regulation, however, is the assumption that the consumers of private security services will help facilitate and enforce professional standards by shifting their custom to PSCs which have signed up to these codes of conduct or certification schemes. This article investigates the validity of this assumption with regard to government contracting. To what degree are public agencies able – and willing – to let professional standards guide their contracting behaviour? To answer this question, this article develops a general framework for the analysis of public consumer influence through choice, voice, and exit which draws on insights from microeconomics and Albert Hirschman’s classical treatiseExit, Voice, Loyalty.Taking the United States government as an illustrative example, the analysis observes several obstacles to encouraging security industry self-regulation through consumer power.

The Subject

This chapter considers the question how professional issues can be taught in an undergraduate environment where little academic experience is to be expected. It develops a theoretical framework, which justifies the need for such teaching and indicates that codes of conduct can be a useful vehicle to address these issues. Given the constructivist teaching theory that was deemed appropriate for the subject, the chapter proceeds to discuss the realisation of the teaching of professional standards in a HND programme in a UK university. The chapter discusses the result of the module and the strengths and weaknesses of the approach as well as a follow-up investigation into student’s views of professionalism.

The Family

When family business professionals serve family firms in more than one capacity, they begin to mirror the problems that cause conflict in business families. Fulfilling multiple professional roles started from necessity and became a tradition. The practice of “dual relationship” has gone unchallenged, even though it holds significant potential risk to the family enterprise. “Best practices” from corporate governance, together with established codes of conduct, provide guidelines for protecting both the quality and the integrity of professional input on which family firms rely. Better educated consumers and accountability to peers mean higher professional standards for meeting the needs of family enterprise.
