Module 2

Business ethics is the behavior that a business adheres to in its daily dealings with the world. The ethics of a particular business can be diverse. Good business ethics should be a part of every business. If a company does not adhere to business ethics and breaks the laws, they usually end up being fined.

A good indicator of high levels of corporate, and hence, employee ethics is how well employees protect their company's asset. Employees who have respect for their organization and co-workers will avoid such practices as:

1. Padding of labor charges and expense accounts
2. Personal long distance phone calls on company accounts
3. Untidy work areas, break areas and rest rooms
4. Taking office supplies home
5. Excessive breaks or sick days
6. Improper use of copy machines and computer equipment

Entrepreneur

There are some people said that being an entrepreneur is about more than just starting a business or two, it is about having attitude and the drive to succeed in business. All successful Entrepreneurs have a similar way of thinking and posses several key personal qualities that make them so successful in business. All in all, for me it's not easy to build up a business.

There are some article make me feel intresting and useful if we want to build our own business ourself in one day. I hope this can share with my other fren.

All successful entrepreneurs have the following qualities:

1. Inner Drive to Succeed
Entrepreneurs are driven to succeed and expand their business. They see the bigger picture and are often very ambitious. Entrepreneurs set massive goals for themselves and stay committed to achieving them regardless of the obstacles that get in the way.

2. Strong Belief in themselves
Successful entrepreneurs have a healthy opinion of themselves and often have a strong and assertive personality. They are focused and determined to achieve their goals and believe completely in their ability to achieve them. Their self optimism can often been seen by others as flamboyance or arrogance but entrepreneurs are just too focused to spend too much time thinking about un-constructive criticism.

3. Search for New Ideas and Innovation
All entrepreneurs have a passionate desire to do things better and to improve their products or service. They are constantly looking for ways to improve. They're creative, innovative and resourceful.

4. Openness to Change
If something is not working for them they simply change. Entrepreneurs know the importance of keeping on top of their industry and the only way to being number one is to evolve and change with the times. They're up to date with the latest technology or service techniques and are always ready to change if they see a new opportunity arise.

5. Competitive by Nature
Successful entrepreneurs thrive on competition. The only way to reach their goals and live up to their self imposed high standards is to compete with other successful businesses.

6. Highly Motivated and Energetic
Entrepreneurs are always on the move, full of energy and highly motivated. They are driven to succeed and have an abundance of self motivation. The high standards and ambition of many entrepreneurs demand that they have to be motivated!

7. Accepting of Constructive Criticism and Rejection
Innovative entrepreneurs are often at the forefront of their industry so they hear the words "it can't be done" quite a bit. They readjust their path if the criticism is constructive and useful to their overall plan, otherwise they will simply disregard the comments as pessimism. Also, the best entrepreneurs know that rejection and obstacles are a part of any leading business and they deal with them appropriately.
