Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C)Ethics are the accepted principles of conduct that govern behavior within a society.Ethical behavior is a companywide concern,but because communication efforts are the public face of a company,they are subjected to particularly rigorous scrutiny from regulators,legislators,investors,consumer groups,environmental groups,labor organizations,and anyone else affected by business activities.While there is a great deal of overlap between laws,ethics,and social guidelines,they are not always the same thing.Protocols are procedures to help people follow laws,social guidelines,and ethics.
