ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the ethics of project management. It explains personal, organizational and professional ethics. The goal of a commercial organization is to make a profit within the operational framework of its environment, the law, suppliers, customers and its employees. The organization tries to minimize these tendencies and comply with the law by setting up an ‘Ethics Program’. The purpose of this ethics programme seems to be to protect the organization from getting caught breaking the law. In effective companies, management has established and communicated a clear set of business ethics for employees to follow and has created an environment that encourages employees to uphold those ethics. Open a diary and write everything in it. Use a bound book rather than loose pages and a binder or an electronic file.
