BUSINESS ETHICS: A THEOLOGICAL REFLECTION

Abstract

Business booms.  Business is everywhere and at every level of human relations and interactions.  It flourishes or perishes; together with it human life is enhanced or eliminated depending on its face and force on human needs and deeds.A renewed and increased momentum is seen in every sector, especially in the business sector with an ever-widening private global market economy, of course, in view of a greater acceptability and sustainability of the business kingdom.  As a result, there is also an ‘awakened’ consciousness and a concomitant commitment in the overall progress and prosperity of all people in the business empire.  This age of information technology and globalisation of economic enterprises with multinational companies has given due importance to a deeper understanding of the interconnectivity and the intricacies of business management and the urgency to address all issues of people at every stage and every step of business undertakings.   Recently, the world of business has rightly started to take into account all sections of people and the otherwise unimportant but constituent element of market, that is, the mass population, which is the directly or indirectly affected or influenced sector in the empire.
