What are the arguments for and against ethics in the business place?

  • small business plans
  • normal mode analysis
I'm not sure there is a sound argument against "ethics" in the business place? Just as there isn't a sound argument for stealing, lying and murder under normal circumstances.


Good ethics promote a culture in which businesses can operate and thrive. Without a culture of ethics, the business world is inoperable...there is no basis or expectations. ie...if no company could collect Accounts receivable, the business world would come to a grinding halt. If lots of companies were printing counterfeit money, it would lead to hyperinflation and the continuous destruction of currency.


Ethics are a stabilizing force in the market for good. The smaller the infraction the less of an impact, but a lot of small infractions leads to huge amount of waste and inefficiency.


Without ethics there would be no business, just war.
