annotated-Creech20of20Growth.docxDiscussion 5: Legal and Ethical Considerations in Entrepreneurship
- What are the consequences of neglecting your legal obligations as an entrepreneur?
- In what ways can ethical considerations positively impact business success?
- What ethical practices can enhance customer trust and loyalty?
- In what situations might entrepreneurs face ethical challenges related to competition?
- How do cultural differences impact ethical considerations for entrepreneurs operating globally?
Not following the legal obligations as an entrepreneur can potentially jeopardize both your company and future depending on how severe the consequences are. If an entrepreneur does not follow protocols that are standard for any company, such as safety, the company could easily be shut down. You are at the risk of damaging your companies reputation, employee careers, and stability. In contrast, doing the opposite and following protocols in the workplace efficiently can set a standard for the employees and other companies, which will then boost reputation and potentially success because other companies will gain your trust since the workplace is proper and the entrepreneur is organized. Customer trust and loyalty would be enhanced depending how the entrepreneur treats his own workplace and consumers. An entrepreneur with less corporate greed, philanthropism, and higher consideration of consumers would automatically gain a noticeable boost in customer trust and loyalty over an average entrepreneur.
