Relevance of Business Ethics: A Navigating Force for Global Sustainable Quality Generation in Organizations | Chapter 5 | Business, Management and Economics: Research Progress Vol. 5

Business ethics has emerged as one of the prominent ringtones of the millennium organizations in present times. Notwithstanding the social uncertainties and the business fluctuation in vogue the essentiality and applicability of business ethics is the call of the hour.  The chapter highlights the rationale of business ethics and attempts to explore the key domains and items that may be considered relevant for present-day business houses. The literature of the paper hovers around rediscovering Goals and ethics, diversity management and ethics, entity value on decision making, legal perspective of business ethics, diversified ethics and gender differentiation. The paper ultimately aims to conceptualize a scale for finding conclusive remarks in certain identifiable arenas within the field of business ethics. The paper upholds a modest attempt to structure the “Business Ethics for Sustainable Quality”- ‘BESQ’ Scale with its domains and items with a focus on business ethics as a gateway to global sustainable organizational progression. The study makes a realistic effort to throw considerable light on the impact of business ethics and harmonizing the path of human development and organizational escalation in the days to come.

Kidnapping as a Business Activity and Related Security Implications: A Nigerian Perspective | Chapter 10 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

Kidnapping for ransom has become a serious problem in Nigeria, affecting individuals, families, and society as a whole. While criminals may benefit financially from this illegal activity, the consequences are devastating for victims and hinder the country’s economic growth. The increasing rate of kidnapping has created fear among citizens, discouraged tourism and investment, and posed a major challenge to security management.

 

This study examines the causes of kidnapping and its impact on security and development in Nigeria. The findings suggest that factors like unemployment, poverty, drug abuse, and social inequality contribute to the rise of kidnapping, with many young people getting involved in these crimes. Despite government efforts to tackle the issue, kidnapping continues to spread.

 

To address this problem, society must educate and guide young people toward positive values like honesty, integrity, and non-violence. The government must also take strong action by creating more job opportunities, investing in infrastructure, and reducing poverty to discourage youth from turning to crime. Only by tackling the root causes can Nigeria achieve a safer and more stable society.

Investigating the Role of Business in Accelerating Sustainable Development in Africa | Chapter 10 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 8

 Ending extreme poverty, boosting economic growth, increasing environmental sustainability, and eradicating gender inequality are all seen as advantages of sustainable development. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country is linked to long-term development, and GDP is used as a measure of a country's level of living as well as an indicator of its economic health. Businesses must contribute to economic growth and job creation in order to accelerate sustainable development. The premise is that when businesses invest in capital for commodity manufacturing, jobs are created, which helps to increase people's living standards by providing a source of income. Accelerating Sustainable Development, on the other hand, has an impact on employee empowerment, in which workers are compensated enough to meet their basic needs, have job security, the right to join a union, and work in an environment free of sexual harassment.
