  KEYWORDS: Deontology, Business Ethics, Takata

  ABSTRACT: Business ethics is crucial to corporates’ subsistence and development. Many corporates have considered ethical factors on their operation strategies. This paper is to judge Takata actions in the exploding airbags events whether ethical or not by Deontology as the ethical theory. Takata’s actions are analyzed mainly whether these conform to three principles of the Categorical Imperatives and detail their business operating issues. We conclude that Takata’s actions are not ethical since they isolate theories of duty. In order to operate ethically, corporations could design a better reporting system in the specific industry and reinforce the responsible law to be held responsible to individuals.
