Ethics constitute core of all considerations in most of the personal as well as institutional decisions in a civilized society. The ethical standards of any society, largely depends upon the National ethos and the social and spiritual values. The Ethos are often based upon the civilizational history, religious & spiritual beliefs and the doctrine enshrined in the ancient scriptures. The ancient scriptures of Bharat consisting of the four Vedas, Upnishads, Aaranaykas, Smritis, Sutras (Grihya sutras, Dharma sutras etc.), the Brahmin granths (like Shatpath Brahman, Aiteraiy Brahman etc) and epics (Like Ramayan & Mahabharat etc). All these ancient scriptures have almost infinite expanse and varied deliberations. But, all of them have a rich treasure of guiding principles on several ethical & doctrinal aspects of modern management. The available literature on these doctrines of management enshrined, in the ancient scriptures is very scanty and scattered. This necessitates detailed and meticulous deliberations on these issues. from revenue & profit considerations. This requires inculcation of a value system conducive for promoting ethics in education, training and practice of management.
