Give an overall preview of the essay from one point to the next by offering a destination outline in your introduction.
Place the thesis statement at the end of your first paragraph. Writing your thesis statement causes you to think of the argument in clearer and more logical terms. Your final draft version of a well-defined thesis statement evolves as you write.
Establish in the body of your essay that ethics result in more respect for the consumer and employees, a workplace with dignity and an acceptable return for owners and shareholders.
Show that practical small business ethics differ from philosophical ethics -- and that business ethics reflect a function of experience of what does and does not work.
Argue that the objective of an ethical business is to maximize productivity from a goal-focused workforce, serve the customer needs, be a good corporate citizen in the community and earn a fair profit for the owners and shareholders. "Do well by doing good."
Diagram on paper your thoughts to explore the essay's shape of ideas and organize your understanding. Write your thesis statement in the middle of a piece of paper to draw a diagram. Draw three to five lines extending from the thesis statement. At the end of those branching lines write down main ideas or objectives.
Draw more lines off the primary ones to establish related small business ethics subproblems. Each objective drawn on the diagram illustrates a distinct section within the body of your essay with a subproblem alongside.
Arrange all body paragraphs with a consistent basic structure by composing the first sentence of the paragraph with a main idea. Construct all the important supporting ideas in sentence format, omitting a few lines in between each main objective. Return and fill in support for related smaller subproblems. Make sure that each distinct paragraph makes sense if standing alone, and links with every thesis-related paragraph overall.
Conclude the essay with a short summary by showcasing the significance of business ethics for a small business owner. Do not bring up fresh points. Tie the paper together by repeating the thesis statement in your conclusion. Restate the main points. Think about the last impression you want to remain with the reader.
