Istanbul Stock Exchange Review, 2000, vol. 4, issue 16, 13-90

Abstract: The aim of the study is to determine the ethics cultures of the companies traded on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). Therefore, content analysis with quantitative methods were applied to official and written documents of 192 companies. Consequently, statements were determined for 36 different subjects. Among these, 'high quality production' is the most, 'supplier satisfaction' and 'union relations' are the least frequently mentioned subjects. Also 'human resources' is the most, 'environmental issues' are the least examined subjects within the business functions. Research results show that companies mainly have behavioral ethics cultures. Also, they intimately follow the modern approaches in marketing ethics.
