Ethical & Leadership Values and Organizational Performance

Abstract

In ancient times, India was indisputably a land of great traders. It had trade relationships with far-off places. The business practices followed in India have to be analyzed in detail. There are a number of studies on business ethics, but very few explore the important practices followed in India during its days of glory. This study refers to ‘Arthashastra’ by Vishnugupta written in the 4^th century BC and other religious texts like Bhagavad Gita that explain the ethical and leadership values. This study will help modern business practitioners to enhance their ethical and leadership skills and thus run the organization sustainably.
