Abstract
The fundamental thrust of this paper is the ambitious claim which postulates that there is an African Business Ethics, the challenge of which is to rediscover Traditional African Values and apply them to modern Africa, thus, building a sound foundation for doing ‘Business’ in an ‘Ethical’ manner and making them known to the rest of the business community. The paper takes as its evaluative focus African Business Values and Ethics. These are pre- eminent virtues still known and operative in various communities all over the continent. Some of the points that will be touched upon are the question of African identity; it’s past and future, as well as aspects of African philosophy relating to religion, culture and ethics. The paper tries to show how such issues fit into and/or relate to many modern categories of Western philosophical paradigms.
