Good Governance or ethical management is a guiding principle for organizing society, encompassing the public sector, private businesses, and the general public. It covers academic, operational, governmental, and business aspects, allowing them to coexist harmoniously, fostering knowledge, unity, and collaborative efforts for sustainable development.
