UTILITY OF VALUES IN BUSINESS:
Values release energy because they motivate people.
Values motivate people to work together collectively.
Values are like ever-receding or never-ending goals. The higher the values, the more the energy and effort required to achieve and sustain them. The more you pursue them, the greater the energy they release and put into action.
Cont… Quality of performance on every job,
every activity, and every act can be accurately assessed in terms of values.
Companies which rated their implementation of key corporate values the highest also reported the highest levels of revenue growth and profitability in their respective industries.

release and harness the company's latent, unutilized energies for growth.

Terminal and Instrumental
Values
• Personal values:These are considered essential principles on which we build our life and guide us to relate with other people. They are usually a blend of family values and social-cultural values, together with our own individual ones, according to our experiences.
• Family values:These are valued in a family and iare considered either good or bad. These derive from the fundamental beliefs of the parents, who use them to educate their children. They are the basic principles and guidelines of our initial behavior in society, and are conveyed through our behaviors in the family, from the simplest to the most complex.
• Social-cultural values:These are the prevailing values of our society, which change with time, and either coincide or not with our family or personal values. They constitute a complex mix of different values, and at times they contradict one another, or pose a dilemma.
For example, if work isn’t valued socially as a means of personal fulfillment, then the society is indirectly fostering “anti-values” like dishonesty, irresponsibility, or crime.
Another example of the dilemmas that social-cultural values may pose is when they promote the idea that “the end justifies the means”. With this as a pretext, terrorists and arbitrary rulers justify violence, intolerance, and lies while claiming that their true goal is peace.
• Material values:These values allow us to survive, and are related to our basic needs as human beings, such as food and clothing and protection from the environment. They are fundamental needs, part of the complex web that is created between personal, family and social-cultural values. If exaggerated, material values can be in contradiction with spiritual values.
• Spiritual values:They refer to the importance we give to non-material aspects in our lives. They are part of our human needs and allow us to feel fulfilled. They add meaning and foundation to our life, as do religious beliefs.
• Moral values:The attitudes and behaviors that a society considers essential for coexistence, order, and general well being.

Research connecting television viewing and depression desensitization of children
FAMILY
Parents assume many roles Most important role is moral teacher Challenges to families:
single-parent households two parents working outside the home care for elderly parents financial pressures
SCHOOLS
Some see character education as fundamental aspect of education
Values clarification common part of curriculum in 70s

Managerial activities can change as the organizations and their environment change.
The managers responsibilities have increased as more tasks have been outsourced on them, at the same time they have been stripped of some of their support functions and assistants.
Indian managers are moving away from the concept of values and ethics. The lure for maximizing profit is deviating them from the value based managerial behaviour. There is a need for our managers today both in private and public sectors to develop a set of values and believes that will help them attain the ultimate goals of profits and survival and growth. They need to develop the following values:
Optimum utilization of resources Attitude towards work Managers have to develop the visionary
perspective in their work. They have to develop a sense of larger vision in their work for the common good.
Work commitment Vision Managers have a long term vision. The visionary
managers must be practical,dynamic and capable of translating dreams in to reality.
MANAGER VALUES
Leads by example – models the standards set and has respect for the team.
Accessible and visible to team members. Walks around the department/section. Takes time for personal contact. Takes an interest in staff as individuals and listens to their concerns.
Takes the flak when mistakes are made. Is fully accountable for the actions of people who report directly to them.

4. Is prepared to admit when wrong and change own behavior. Is not afraid to say sorry. Actively seeks out development opportunities for people who report directly to them and seeks their input.
5. Understands different needs and
motivations of individuals and adapts own style to suit person and situation.
THE MANAGERS OF INDIAN COMPANIES SHOULD ALSO DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING VALUES:- Move from the state of inertia to the state of righteous action.
Move from the state of faithlessness to the state of faith and self-confidence.
Move from unethical actions to ethical actions.
Move from untruth to truth.
VALUES OF WESTERN MANAGER
Western managers are highly professionals with excellent analysis power, high professional education and specialization.
Western managers follows a proper code of conduct and work in the structured formal atmosphere with no place of modesty in their behavior.
Professional efficiency and work disciplines are the conditions under which western managers perform.
They consider rules as sacred in their value system. Western value system teaches contractual obligations.
Managers honour their contracts. Western managers value principles above its privilege and
they consider this as the best strategy to win
CONCLUSION
For years conventional wisdom suggested that people do not leave companies, but rather they leave because of bad business management also known as bad managers. Poor business management practices are more related to the problem of poor business ethics or values than to the common symptoms such as poor delegation or poor communication. Every organization, no matter size, should have a written business values statement of non-negotiable behaviors that will be demonstrated by everyone. Each employee from top down needs to consistently demonstrate the same values and ethics. Inconsistent values from managers can dramatically affect employee motivation and ultimately employee performance

WHAT IS DECISION MAKING
Decision making is a process of selecting the best among the different alternatives. It is the act of making a choice. There are so many alternatives found in the organization and departments. Decision making is defined as the selection of choice of one best alternative. Before making decisions all alternatives should be evaluated from which advantages and disadvantages are known. It helps to make the best decisions. It is also one of the important functions of management. Without other management functions such as planning, Organizing, directing, controlling, staffing can’t be conducted because in this managerial function decision is very important.
IMPORTANCE OF DECISION MAKING
1. Implementation of managerial function: Without decision making different managerial function such as planning, organizing, directing, controlling, staffing can’t be conducted. In other words, when an employee does, s/he does the work through decision making function. Therefore, we can say that decision is important element to implement the managerial function
2. Pervasiveness of decision making: the decision is made in all managerial activities and in all functions of the organization. It must be taken by all staff. Without decision making any kinds of function is not possible. So it is pervasive.
3. Evaluation of managerial performance: Decisions can evaluate managerial performance. When decision is correct it is understood that the manager is qualified, able and efficient. When the decision is wrong, it is understood that the manager is disqualified. So decision making evaluate the managerial performance
4. Helpful in planning and policies: Any policy or plan is established through decision making. Without decision making, no plans and policies are performed. In the process of making plans, appropriate decisions must be made from so many alternatives. Therefore decision making is an important process which is helpful in planning.
5. Selecting the best alternatives: Decision making is the
process of selecting the best alternatives. It is necessary in every organization because there are many alternatives. So decision makers evaluate various advantages and disadvantages of every alternative and select the best alternative.
6. Successful; operation of business: Every individual, departments and organization make the decisions. In this competitive world; organization can exist when the correct and appropriate decisions are made. Therefore
correct decisions help in successful operation of business
Step 1: Identify the decision to be made. You realize that a decision must be made. You then go through an internal process of trying to define clearly the nature of the decision you must make. This first step is a very important one.
Step 2: Gather relevant information. Most decisions require collecting pertinent information. The real trick in this step is to know what information is needed, the best sources of this information, and how to go about getting it. Some information must be sought from within yourself through a process of self-assessment; other information must be sought from outside yourself-from books, people, and a variety of other sources. This step, therefore, involves both internal and external “work”.
Step 3: Identify alternatives. Through the process of collecting information you will probably identify several possible paths of action, or alternatives. You may also use your imagination and information to construct new alternatives. In this step of the decision-making process, you will list all possible and desirable alternatives.
Step 4: Weigh evidence. In this step, you draw on your information and emotions to imagine what it would be like if you carried out each of the alternatives to the end. You must evaluate whether the need identified in Step 1 would be helped or solved through the use of each alternative. In going through this difficult internal process, you begin to favor certain alternatives which appear to have higher potential for reaching your goal. Eventually you are able to place the alternatives in priority order, based upon your own value system.
Step 5: Choose among alternatives. Once you have weighed all the evidence, you are ready to select the alternative which seems to be best suited to you. You may even choose a combination of alternatives. Your choice in Step 5 may very likely be the same or similar to the alternative you placed at the top of your list at the end of Step 4.
Step 6: Take action. You now take some positive action which begins to implement the alternative you chose in Step 5.
Step 7: Review decision and consequences. In the last step you experience the results of your decision and evaluate whether or not it has “solved” the need you identified in Step 1. If it has, you may stay with this decision for some period of time. If the decision has not resolved the identified need, you may repeat certain steps of the process in order to make a new decision. You may, for example, gather more detailed or somewhat different information or discover additional alternatives on which to base your decision.
ETHICAL DECISION MAKING
Ethical decision making involves taking into consideration eithical issues at various stages of decision making process. The basic steps involved in ethical decision making are same as in normal decision making process.but in every step ethical aspect is given due consideration. This approach is called PLUS approach which take cares of
P = PoliciesIs it consistent with my organization's policies, procedures and guidelines?
L= LegalIs it acceptable under the applicable laws and regulations?
U = UniversalDoes it conform to the universal principles/values my organization has adopted?
S= SelfDoes it satisfy my personal definition of right, good and fair?
PLUS PRESUMES EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WITH ALL EMPLOYEES SO THERE IS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING OF: PLUS presumes effective communication with all
employees so there is a common understanding of: the organization's policies and procedures as they
apply to the situation. the applicable laws and regulations. the agreed to set of "universal" values - in this
case Empathy, Patience, Integrity, Courage (EPIC) the individual's sense of right, fair and good
springing from their personal values set.
The PLUS filters work as an integral part of steps 1, 3 and 6 of the decision making process. The decision maker applies the four PLUS filters to determine if the ethical component(s) of the decision are being surfaced/addressed/satisfied.
Step 1 Define the problem (PLUS surface the ethical issues) Does the existing situation violate any of the PLUS
considerations? Step 2
Identify available alternative solutions to the problem Step 3
Evaluate the identified alternatives (PLUS assess their ethical impact)
Will the alternative I am considering resolve the PLUS violations? Will the alternative being considered create any new PLUS
considerations? Are the ethical trade-offs acceptable?
Step 4 Make the decision
Step 5 Implement the decision
Step 6 Evaluate the decision (PLUS surface any remaining/new
ethical issues) Does the resultant situation resolve the earlier PLUS
considerations? Are there any new PLUS considerations to be addressed

The market system leads to a more efficient way of allocating resources and the conditions required are:
