The importance of building business ethics for companies cannot be overstated. But we first need a reasonable way to explain it and spread it. It would be quite unrealistic to ask an entrepreneur (especially the owner of a small or medium-sized enterprise) who is dedicated to business to explain and apply this cumbersome theory to indoctrinate himself and his employees. So how do you get businesses to take a keen interest in this out-of-the-way and seemingly meaningless word? That's the big question.

Thankfully, most entrepreneurs today are beginning to pay attention to the near-reality of building a "corporate culture". That's where we come in.

As an important part of the moral culture, the ethical concepts of the enterprise's judgment on values, interests, good and evil, and so on, have naturally permeated the work of enterprise culture construction. Drawing ideas from traditional Chinese philosophy and applying them to modern management is a practice adopted by most Chinese entrepreneurs. They extract arguments from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism that are applicable to the characteristics of their own businesses, and use them to play a role - as the basic elements of Chinese ideology and culture, the philosophical pursuits of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are generally positive and good, and they have played an important role in social stability, economic development and people's livelihoods throughout the dynasties.

First, let's look at the influence of Confucian culture on the concept of business ethics of contemporary enterprises.

Confucianism has had the most profound impact on business operations in China, which is due not only to historical and cultural endowments, but also to entrepreneurs' interest in the fusion of Confucianism and business practices. For example, the Analects of Confucius alone, "Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you" is a sentence that has infected and inspired many people. If you think about it, it is true. To develop a business plan, we need to follow the needs of people and respect the needs of the market, so if we can't trust the product, how can we sell it to others? The development of employment system, external public relations strategy, to follow the needs of the talent, the needs of society, they are not satisfied with the post system, how to let others praise? Every aspect of the operation, all this reasoning. Therefore, many people use this sentence to deduce "think differently", "other people are their own mirror" and so on such an era of ideas.

Of course, we are surrounded by negative cases also abound. For example, in some areas of the small and medium-sized restaurants there is such a saying: home cooking family members generally will not eat. Why? Because they are aware of the poor sanitary environment in which the food is processed, and they are aware of how inferior the adulterated ingredients are. If that's the case, why sell it to others?

Next, let's look at the influence of Taoist culture on contemporary corporate business ethics.

The phrase "Be careful to finish as you started, and nothing will fail" comes from the 64th chapter of the Tao Te Ching, which says that you should always finish as you started, i.e., always be careful. This is the masterpiece of Laozi's wisdom, but also often used as a motto for entrepreneurs.

"Be careful as you begin" is an attitude of responsibility, which requires that a company should never violate the general moral requirements of business -- what it promises to consumers, to employees, and to the community -- and keep it as it was in the beginning. The initial wish of the enterprise is generally positive and good, they do not want to obtain profits through fraud, however, in the process of being constantly sharpened and temptation, some people give up integrity, and some people abide by the beginning. Indeed, the law of market movement is complex, and even elusive, but can adhere to their own beliefs of integrity, adhere to the commitment to strict fulfillment, will eventually win the victory, as the so-called "the road is far away to know the horse power, the day to see the people".

On the other hand, those who have been to the community to show off their "integrity" and "strength" of the enterprise, if you can not give the community the same answer, will eventually be a failure, such examples are numerous.

Let's take a look at the concept of "give and take" which is very popular in the management world: "Give and take" is the concept of "give and take", which is the concept of "give and take", which is the concept of "give and take". This is the classic embodiment of the Buddhist spirit.

Buddhists believe that everything is in the "give and take" in the achievement of their own, give is to get, get is to give, as color is empty, empty is color. In business, "give" is to pay, input, is the contribution to society, "gain" is the results, output, is the recognition of society. Therefore, "give and take" as a reflection of philosophical thinking, but also entrepreneurs often used to weigh the value of the guiding ideology. If you don't know how to make trade-offs, your business will become fragile - Mr. Wang Shi said this: "Lack of money is not a bad thing for private enterprises, because limited funds do not allow you to invest blindly or make big mistakes. If your strategic goals are not clear and you have no control, more money is rather a bad thing. I often say to businesses that are worried about the lack of money, "Congratulations! You can't make a big mistake."

In addition, entrepreneurs also through the "strive for excellence" and other ancient teachings interpreted as a contemporary concept of quality, and put forward the "quality is more important than Mount Tai", and then in accordance with this concept to develop a code of conduct on quality, in the enterprise internal promotion. In addition, entrepreneurs also follow the line of traditional cultural thought, in accordance with the concept of "raising talented people", they developed a number of "respect for talent" as the goal of the manifestations of the system, attitudes, codes of conduct and so on.

In this way, it helps to build a harmonious business ethics system.
