Business Ethics:Who is to be blamed for?

As we know,the case of Sanlu milk powder in China has brought much thinking about business ethics in modern China.

Sanlu case

We commonly refer these questions to a government level,that it is the relevant government agencies who should be blamed for such problems.In fact,it is the firms and business men who should be responsible for their lack of business ethics.

As an individual,one should be responsible for himself(in most occasions).When it comes to a firm or a business,the responsibility is brought to a public level.They do produce goods,they do sell goods,and consumers do purchase their goods because they trust them.Sanlu group used the faith of consumers to cheat them,to sell unsafe goods to them,and finally,to earn more money from them. Sanlu group didn’t take the responsibility to provide consumers with high-quality goods so that they can make sure consumers are safe after using their goods.Instead, they forget about business ethics as a foundation.

I hope this issue won’t be ignored in future days and business men would always respect consumers on one hand and would concern about ethics on the other.
