Specification of the objectives and tasks of a business enterprise seems to be of primordial importance to its effectiveness. Historically, there have been various determinants of business activity. The paper points out to some of those. One of the best known is the Milton Friedman's approach, stating that the objective of enterprise is profit maximisation. As analysis of contemporary realities reveals, the mission of enterprise is actually much broader. It is supposed to identify and promote the firm on the market, motivate the staff, determine strategy. The maximisation of profit alone is hardly able to meet all those expectations. With the main problem put in this way ethical difficulties come up. In the Christian vision of enterprise it is man and his development that should be the objective of business activity, profits being a mere tool for achievement of the objective. Social teachings of the Catholic Church propose the creation of an employee community as a mission of the enterprise. Even a superficial analysis of the issue shows that the objective, strange though it may sound when examined from the business point of view, is beneficial not only to the staff, but also to the entrepreneur and his/her enterprise.

Wojciech Gasparski's Praxiological View of Business

51%
EN
This article describes the approach to business which can be found the work of Wojciech Gasparski. A special stress is put on the fact that professor Gasparski, himself a prominent representative of Polish praxiology, makes use of the basic praxiological premises. According to this theory business is seen as something performing its basic, 'technical' function which consists in the maximisation of so called owner's value. It does not mean that ethical aspects of business or the problem of social responsibility of companies are being neglected. The main purpose is rather to build a solid basis for an ethical reflection on business. Wojciech Gasparski builds a 'minimal business ethics', which does not create an Arcadian vision of business, but tends to propagate professional standards in this field, already accepted in many European countries.
