One issue surrounding business is the relationship of the business to the consumers. Kant’s theory is deontological and objective because it looks at the morality within the action itself and not the result from it. Kant’s theory expresses the importance of treating people as ends in themselves, rather than only as a means to an end. This approach is helpful as it means that businesses need to use their consumers as not only a means for a profit, but also use them as an end e.g. the products that are supplied are of a certain quality.

A good accountant from a utilitarian perspective would assess how the organization is creating and maximizing utility. Utility can be defined in many ways but a concise description is utility is the happiness added by a certain activity. This utility would be assessed all by values as utilitarians try to attach value created to every decision they make.

As long as the organization is maximizing the utility with the decisions they make, the good utilitarian accountant should not worry themselves with the moral implications of the decisions they made.
When he first went into this line of work in Arizona working with border patrol he said all he did was applied out in Bay City when they were doing big hiring pools there and waited for them to call him back. At the time he was going to Delta and was studying criminal justice so he did have some sort of education in this field. A couple weeks later he was called back to take the tests for a job and had the whole interview process explained to him and what he would need to do. After taking the written test he then had to go take a physical test to see if he was physically qualified for the position. He did not hear back from them for awhile before he got a phone call that he did get the job and was given a short notice that he was leaving for Arizona to train down there.

In his biography My Years with General Motors he said: The strategic aim of a business is to earn a return on capital, and if in any particular case there turn in the long run is not satisfactory, the deficiency should be corrected or the activity abandoned.

Evolutionary Approach on Strategy Evolutionary approaches do not rely on top management’s skill to plan and act rationally. Instead of depending on managers, they believe that markets will determine profit maximization and not the managers.
