Perilaku Etika Dalam Bisnis


Pengertian Etika Bisnis
Etika bisnis merupakan studi yang dikhususkan mengenai moral yang benar dan salah. Studi ini berkonsentrasi pada standar moral sebagaimana diterapkan dalam kebijakan, institusi, dan perilaku bisnis.

 Bisnis melibatkan hubungan ekonomi dengan banyak kelompok orang yang dikenal sebagai stakeholders, yaitu: pelanggan, tenaga kerja, stockholders, suppliers, pesaing, pemerintah dan komunitas. Oleh karena itu para pebisnis harus mempertimbangkan semua bagian dari stakeholders dan bukan hanya stockholdernya saja. Pelanggan, penyalur, pesaing, tenaga kerja dan bahkan pemegang saham adalah pihak yang sering berperan untuk keberhasilan dalam berbisnis. Lingkungan bisnis yang mempengaruhi etika adalah lingkungan makro dan lingkungan mikro. Lingkungan makro yang dapat mempengaruhi kebiasaan yang tidak etis yaitu bribery, coercion, deception, theft, unfair dan discrimination. Maka dari itu dalam perspektif mikro, bisnis harus percaya bahwa dalam berhubungan dengan supplier atau vendor, pelanggan dan tenaga kerja atau karyawan.
       Sebagai bagian dari masyarakat, tentu bisnis tunduk pada norma-norma yang ada pada masyarakat. Tata hubungan bisnis dan masyarakat yang tidak bisa dipisahkan itu membawa serta etika-etika tertentu dalam kegiatan bisnisnya, baik etika itu antara sesama pelaku bisnis maupun etika bisnis terhadap masyarakat dalam hubungan langsung maupun tidak langsung. Dengan memetakan pola hubungan dalam bisnis seperti itu dapat dilihat bahwa prinsip-prinsip etika bisnis terwujud dalam satu pola hubungan yang bersifat interaktif. Hubungan ini tidak hanya dalam satu negara, tetapi meliputi berbagai negara yang terintegrasi dalam hubungan perdagangan dunia yang nuansanya kini telah berubah. Perubahan nuansa perkembangan dunia itu menuntut segera dibenahinya etika bisnis. Pasalnya, kondisi hukum yang melingkupi dunia usaha terlalu jauh tertinggal dari pertumbuhan serta perkembangan dibidang ekonomi. Jalinan hubungan usaha dengan pihak-pihak lain yang terkait begitu kompleks. Akibatnya, ketika dunia usaha melaju pesat, ada pihak-pihak yang tertinggal dan dirugikan, karena peranti hukum dan aturan main dunia usaha belum mendapatkan perhatian yang seimbang.
       Pelaku bisnis dituntut untuk peduli dengan keadaan masyarakat, bukan hanya dalam bentuk “uang” dengan jalan memberikan sumbangan, melainkan lebih kompleks lagi. Artinya sebagai contoh kesempatan yang dimiliki oleh pelaku bisnis untuk menjual pada tingkat harga yang tinggi sewaktu terjadinya excess demand harus menjadi perhatian dan kepedulian bagi pelaku bisnis dengan tidak memanfaatkan kesempatan ini untuk meraup keuntungan yang berlipat ganda. Jadi, dalam keadaan excess demand pelaku bisnis harus mampu mengembangkan dan memanifestasikan sikap tanggung jawab terhadap masyarakat sekitarnya. Tanggung jawab sosial bisa dalam bentuk kepedulian terhadap masyarakat di sekitarnya, terutama dalam hal pendidikan, kesehatan, pemberian latihan keterampilan, dll.
       Perkembangan dalam etika bisnis dibagi menjadi 5 periode yaitu sebagai berikut :  1) Situasi Dahulu : Pada awal sejarah filsafat, Plato, Aristoteles, dan filsuf-filsuf Yunani lain menyelidiki bagaimana sebaiknya mengatur kehidupan manusia bersama dalam negara dan membahas bagaimana kehidupan ekonomi dan kegiatan niaga harus diatur, 2) Masa Peralihan tahun 1960-an : ditandai pemberontakan terhadap kuasa dan otoritas di Amerika Serikat (AS), revolusi mahasiswa (di ibukota Perancis), penolakan terhadap establishment (kemapanan). Hal ini memberi perhatian pada dunia pendidikan khususnya manajemen, yaitu dengan menambahkan mata kuliah baru dalam kurikulum dengan nama Business and Society. Topik yang paling sering dibahas adalah corporate social responsibility, 3) Etika Bisnis Lahir di AS tahun 1970-an : sejumlah filsuf mulai terlibat dalam memikirkan masalah-masalah etis di sekitar bisnis dan etika bisnis dianggap sebagai suatu tanggapan tepat atas krisis moral yang sedang meliputi dunia bisnis di AS, 4) Etika Bisnis Meluas ke Eropa tahun 1980-an : di Eropa Barat, etika bisnis sebagai ilmu baru mulai berkembang kira-kira 10 tahun kemudian. Terdapat forum pertemuan antara akademisi dari universitas serta sekolah bisnis yang disebut European Business Ethics Network (EBEN), 5) Etika Bisnis menjadi Fenomena Global tahun 1990-an : tidak terbatas lagi pada dunia Barat. Etika bisnis sudah dikembangkan di seluruh dunia. Telah didirikan International Society for Business, Economics, and Ethics (ISBEE) pada 25-28 Juli 1996 di Tokyo.
       Dalam menjalankan profesinya seorang akuntan di Indonesia diatur oleh suatu kode etik profesi dengan nama kode etik Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia. Kode etik Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia merupakan tatanan etika dan prinsip moral yang memberikan pedoman kepada akuntan untuk berhubungan dengan klien, sesama anggota profesi dan juga dengan masyarakat. Selain dengan kode etik akuntan juga merupakan alat atau sarana untuk klien, pemakai laporan keuangan atau masyarakat pada umumnya, tentang kualitas atau mutu jasa yang diberikannya karena melalui serangkaian pertimbangan etika sebagaimana yang diatur dalam kode etik profesi. Akuntansi sebagai profesi memiliki kewajiban untuk mengabaikan kepentingan pribadi dan mengikuti etika profesi yang telah ditetapkan. Kewajiban akuntan sebagai profesional mempunyai tiga kewajiban yaitu; kompetensi,  objektif dan mengutamakan integritas.  Kasus enron, xerok, merck, vivendi universal dan bebarapa kasus serupa lainnya  telah membuktikan  bahwa etika sangat diperlukan dalam bisnis. Tanpa etika di dalam bisnis, maka perdaganan tidak akan berfungsi dengan baik. Kita harus mengakui bahwa akuntansi adalah bisnis, dan tanggung jawab utama dari bisnis adalah memaksimalkan keuntungan atau nilai shareholder. Tetapi kalau hal ini dilakukan tanpa memperhatikan etika, maka hasilnya sangat merugikan. Banyak orang yang menjalankan bisnis tetapi tetap berpandangan bahwa, bisnis tidak memerlukan etika

 
 Dalam menciptakan etika bisnis, ada beberapa hal yang perlu diperhatikan, antara lain adalah:
1. Pengendalian diri
2. Pengembangan tanggung jawab social (social responsibility)
3. Mempertahankan jati diri dan tidak mudah untuk terombang-ambing oleh pesatnya perkembangan informasi dan teknologi
4. Menciptakan persaingan yang sehat
5. Menerapkan konsep “pembangunan berkelanjutan”
6. Menghindari sifat 5K (Katabelece, Kongkalikong, Koneksi, Kolusi, dan Komisi)
7. Mampu menyatakan yang benar itu benar
8. Menumbuhkan sikap saling percaya antara golongan pengusaha kuat dan golongan pengusaha ke bawah
9. Konsekuen dan konsisten dengan aturan main yang telah disepakati bersama
10. Menumbuhkembangkan kesadaran dan rasa memiliki terhadap apa yang telah disepakati
11. Perlu adanya sebagian etika bisnis yang dituangkan dalam suatu hokum positif yang berupa peraturan perundang-undangan

 
Ada 3 jenis masalah yang dihadapi dalam Etika yaitu
1. Sistematik
Masalah-masalah sistematik dalam etika bisnis pertanyaan-pertanyaan etis yang muncul mengenai sistem ekonomi, politik, hukum, dan sistem sosial lainnya dimana bisnis beroperasi.
2. Korporasi
Permasalahan korporasi dalam perusahaan bisnis adalah pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang dalam perusahaan-perusahaan tertentu. Permasalahan ini mencakup pertanyaan tentang moralitas aktivitas, kebijakan, praktik dan struktur organisasional perusahaan individual sebagai keseluruhan.

3. Individu
Permasalahan individual dalam etika bisnis adalah pertanyaan yang muncul seputar individu tertentu dalam perusahaan. Masalah ini termasuk pertanyaan tentang moralitas keputusan, tindakan dan karakter individual.

Global Warming

Background

Since ancient times until the man with the present, people often experience growth in each time period dilewatinya. Present human civilization has experienced a lot of progress. During development, the human lead in reliance on farming and agriculture. Through the life orientation, people are always trying to keep and preserve their environment appropriately to safeguard the survival of mankind. Humans now have experienced a hang time of the industrial revolution in the field of industrial life. By using the life orientation, world agriculture even go down slowly. The values ​​of human life it changed, especially in human interaction with the environment. The changes that occurred this produces a positive or negative impact. One of the impacts of the industrial revolution happened and still continues at present in human life and civilization is no impact to the environment around the man himself.

Expansion efforts made by industry stakeholders such as the development of factories and manufacturing production with great capacity to override attention to the impact of the environment is slowly but surely led to negligence that ultimately will harm environment and human habitation have been found within the member kehidupannya.Para indication of the presence of the largest impact on the global environment and the world as a result of industrial work is done and has been growing rapidly at this time. This negative impact is the warming of the world and is often referred to as Global Warming. However, the Global Warming problem as the problem is still being debated within the truth by some who think Global Warming is the reason that the speed limit was created for industrial development.

While there is still debate about the truth of Global Warming situation between environmental experts, the Global Warming problem is not able diungkiri to be scrutinized and examined further for the sake of human survival.

Global Warming or Global Warming is the availability of the average temperature increase in the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial Earth.
Global average temperature at the Earth's surface has risen 0.74 ° C ± 0:18 (1:33 ± 0:32 ° F) for a hundred years. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes, "most of the increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is most likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases due to human activity" via the greenhouse effect. Conclusion This policy was submitted by at least 30 scientific and academic bodies, including the national science academies of all G8 countries. However, there are still some scientists who do not agree with some conclusions of the IPCC presented.

Climate models project be referred to by the IPCC shows global surface temperature will rise 1.1 to 6.4 ° C (2.0 to 11.5 ° F) between 1990 and 2100.Perbedaan guesstimate is caused by the use of different scenarios-scenarios of emissions of greenhouse gases in the future, as well as models of different climate sensitivities. Although most of the research focused on the period up to 2100, warming and rising sea water interface is estimated to be continuous for more than a thousand years even if greenhouse gas emissions level was mainly stabil.Ini reflect heat capacity of the oceans.

Estimated increase in global temperature will cause other changes such as sea level rise, increased intensity of extreme weather phenomena and changes in the amount and pattern of precipitation. The consequences of global warming is terpengaruhnya other agricultural products, the loss of glaciers, and a variety of animal extinction.

Cause of Global Warming

Greenhouse
All available energy source on Earth comes from the Sun. Most of the energy is shaped short wave radiation, including visible light. When this energy the Earth's surface, it changes from light into heat which warms the Earth. Earth's surface, will absorb heat and reflect back some rest. Some of this heat tangible long wave infrared radiation to outer space. Yet some remain trapped in the atmosphere warm the earth due to overwrite the amount of greenhouse gases other water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and methane which trap radiation wave. These gases absorb and reflect back radiation emitted wave and consequently warmer Earth will be stored on the surface of the Earth. This condition occurs continuously, resulting in an annual average temperature of the earth continues to rise.

Feedback
nasir cause of global warming is also influenced by a variety of feedback processes that result. For example is the evaporation of water. In the case of heating due to increasing greenhouse gases such as CO2, warming will initially cause more amount of water evaporating into the atmosphere. Since water vapor itself is a greenhouse gas, warming will continue and increase the amount of water vapor in the air until reaching an equilibrium concentration of water vapor. Greenhouse gases it produces larger when compared to the effect of CO2 itself. (Although this feedback improve the absolute water content in the air, the air relative humidity nearly constant or even slightly decreased as the air becomes warms up).

This feedback should impact only slowly as CO2 has a long life in the atmosphere. Another important feedback is the loss of the ability to reflect light (albedo) by es.Ketika global temperatures increase, ice near the poles are melting at a growing pace. Melelehnya equivalent to the ice, land or water beneath will open. Good land or water has the ability to reflect light a little more when compared with ice, and consequently will absorb more sun radiation. This will increase the heating and raises even more ice melts, becomes an ongoing cycle

Several Genesis Of Global Warming Impact

1. FIRE
Forest fires are common analysis = d due to his increased its surface temperature d area due to the effects of global warming. happen in time of drought


2. ES which oozed
Analysis of d = melting polar d due to increased temperatures can drastically until melted polar ice

3. SEA SURFACE a raised
Her analysis = high sea level rise is caused by water d have melted ice from the polar direction


my comment
Small Steps to Prevent Major Hazards (Global Warming)
Talking about preventive measures, many have commented that feel themselves not ready. Not ready to use hybrid cars, is not ready to not use the air conditioner, not yet ready to use the computer for long. Though it is only a few of the various measures to prevent global warming. There are still many other ways, namely by  Start with small things, Start from yourself and from now on.

There is a perception that I think is somewhat of a misnomer, efforts to prevent global warming is often associated with a return to the stone age. Do not use airplanes when traveling, do not use a computer, do not use motor vehicles and many other no-no. Indeed, it is important in preventing global warming, but I think we should not attempt to make us care about global warming is not productive at work. Live naturally. If it is deemed necessary with aircraft flying, yes use. If it is necessary to use a computer, so use it. Efforts of care we can show that the use of 'reasonable'. Hope turned off when not in use.

One Small Step is a Big Leap!!

Several months ago when the energy crisis, PLN urge to turn a 5 watt regular bulbs turned on at night between the hours of 19:00 to 22:00 pm, because at these hours is going electricity peak load. Small sound right? Only a 5 watt bulbs. But when her whole would care to turn off the lights turned 5 watt usual, then the energy crisis can be resolved. One small step is a big leap, one small step done early is a big leap in the future. Do not hesitate to do little things for good in the future. That's the hope to inspire each person to be able to take part in the efforts concerned Global Warming.
