An analysis of strategic and economic values of business ethics

Islam gives color to every dimension of human life, including the economic world. This Islamic system tries to dialecticize economic values with the values of faith or ethics in accordance with Islamic teachings. especially in buying and selling transactions, which are required to meet all the requirements and bowls, in order to avoid the practice of Fudhuli as happened in the scrap metal company in Sumber Anyar Village, Banyuputih District, Situbondo Regency. Based on the conclusion, it can be seen that the practice of Fudhuli that occurs in the scrap metal company in Sumber Anyar Village, Banyuputih District, Situbondo Regency is in accordance with the Fudhuli theory which is explained in the fiqh books because one of the conditions for goods being transacted is not fulfilled, namely: property rights or ownership rights to the goods being transacted, as well as the application of business ethics through Fudhuli practice in accordance with the principle of honesty where after the goods are sold the owner is confirmed, and in accordance with the principle of responsibility and mutual help where the employees are selling the goods owned by the factory aims to help the factory where he works because he sees his goods are just wastedn.

The present state of our spirituality is a consequence of the influences of particular circumstances of life. Undoubtedly, the general changes in the social, political and economic orientations of society significantly influence the nature of the processes taking place in the spiritual sphere. The transition to the rails of market reforms, the affirmation of the principle of pragmatism as a kind of measure of the effectiveness of human life, the priority of economic values over others, including spiritual values, leads to a deepening crisis of spirituality, crisis of man. And in this connection M. Berdyaev's words appearing to warn him against uncritical perception of the values of Western civilization, which, incidentally, is quite characteristic of modern Ukrainian society, appear to be quite correct: the loss of the spiritual center. " And further: “The autonomy of economic life led to its dominance over the entire life of human communities. Mammonism has become the defining force of the age. ”

Informal Traders

The persistence of indigenous African markets in the context of a hostile or neglectful business and policy environment makes them worthy of analysis. An investigation of Afrocentric business ethics is long overdue. Attempting to understand the actions and efforts of informal traders and artisans from their own points of view, and analysing how they organise and get by, allows for viable approaches to be identified to integrate them into global urban models and cultures. Using the utu-ubuntu model to understand the activities of traders and artisans in Nairobi's markets, this book explores how, despite being consistently excluded and disadvantaged, they shape urban spaces in and around the city, and contribute to its development as a whole. With immense resilience, and without discarding their own socio-cultural or economic values, informal traders and artisans have created a territorial complex that can be described as the African metropolis. African Markets and the Utu-buntu Business Model sheds light on the ethics and values that underpin the work of traders and artisans in Nairobi, as well as their resilience and positive impact on urbanisation. This book makes an important contribution to the discourse on urban economics and planning in African cities.
