Prompt Two: Business Ethics

When contemplating one’s own personal ethics there are so many things to be considered, but when contemplating the ethics of your own company you’re defining what you stand for as well as all of your businesses and the people underneath you. I plan to use the moral code of a business that relates to my own personal values and I will compare/contrast them with the rest of the business world. In this blog I will relate my own ethics to that of the rest of the business world.

If you had read my last blog post, “The Luxurious Side of Business” you are familiar with the Discovery Land Company. For those who did not, Discovery is a land company that builds extremely luxurious country clubs all around the world. Though their clubs and facilities alone are enough for a stellar reputation, they take their commitment to the next level through their world class service and dedication to their members. On Discoveries website you will find this exact paragraph describing what they are all about, “Discovery’s projects are well-known for having the highest end service and amenities. The intimacy of the small private club atmosphere allows Discovery to provide member/owner service that is more attentive and hands-on than the world’s best resorts. We create peerless private luxury. The premier service we provide to our members is our hallmark and second to none.”

The Discovery code of ethics not only relates to my own morals, but strictly follows the base format of any high class resort in the hospitality business world. Similar to Discovery family is a very important part of my life. I have grown up in two families deeply rooted in those values. To see a company so committed to close relationships between members and workers really resonates well with me. In comparison to other businesses it lays where it deserves to be… the top. This company appeals to the highest end of society and that is why it’s so prestigious among its competitors.
