THE CONCEPTS
Business, which embraces commerce and industry, is not an accidental human activity but an integral element of the social order. Its primary purpose is to meet societys human needs by providing goods and services as efficiently as possible. Those engaged in business should, therefore, recognize the following basic concepts:

 All business is essentially an expression of human

relationships; not only with those who work in the enterprise, but also with those who own and provide financial resources, with those who supply it with materials and services, with those who buy its products or services, with the government, and with the wider public whose lives are affected by the business activity. The interests of all those members of society must be taken into account in formulating business policy. These interests, in themselves legitimate, will at times conflict. While conflict and tension can of themselves be constructive, the aim of business must always to be reconcile opposing interests in a balance of justice and mutual concern.

 The owners, management, the work force, the supplies

and sub-contractors, the customers, and government contribute to the performance of the business enterprise, and are therefore entitled to receive the proper worth of their contributions. The resources employed by a business enterprise are financial, technological and human. The human resources have a unique quality and should be employed in a manner consistent with personal dignity. The individual should be given opportunity to use and develop his facilities in his work. His contribution to the success of the enterprise should be properly recognized and rewarded.

 Business enterprise has a public responsibility to use all

its resources efficiently. Profit in a system of free recognize as a fundamental incentive, and is necessary for the maintenance and growth of the enterprise, for raising the quality of life, and for helping meet the broader needs of society. Competition and inventiveness are essential for the maintenance and continuing improvement of the quality of goods and services, for growth and for technological progress. However, to guard against unfair forms of competition, a consistent standard of business behavior must be established and observed.

 In business, as in any other institution of society, any right

or authority enjoyed by or entrusted to business presupposes, and is justified by, corresponding duties, responsibilities, and performance.
