Abstract

The word ‘Entrepreneurship’ starts with “E’ which stands for Ethics. There is an inseparable connectivity between Ethics and Entrepreneurship. It is only recently that Ethics have become almost a public issue and have started getting favourable responses from the corporations, government agencies, shareholders, employees, suppliers, customers, competitors, the news media and the society as a whole; although it was there for centuries in some latent form and it is still there and will remain there so long as the human civilization remains. In fact, all over the world, such ethical considerations are being given due emphasis. All great men of the universe have spoken in favour of ethics. It is true not only in religious sort of grounds, but it is equally true in business, profession and in any form of Entrepreneurship. In fact, ethics and Entrepreneurship go hand in hand. This paper plans to make an exploratory study of Ethics as an inseparable element of Entrepreneurship on Global Perspectives.
