Abstract: The following sections discuss some issues pertaining to the status and meanings of critical reflections in business ethics. The starting point is that ethics originally always includes critical-normative perspectives and polemical aspects, and, according to this, critical approach is not supplement to business ethics, but a necessary component of it. This paper is divided into three parts. In the first part I demarcate some selected broad issues in relation to the general perspective of critical reflection. The next section outlines the in-depth consequences of general outlook in respect of critical scope of business ethics, that is to say, in this part the critical capacities of business ethics are to be examined in the light of general principles previously put down. This section focuses on some controversies, questions and debates on the scope of critical reflection in business ethics. The third part looks at the description of empirical tendencies relevant for the developing of practical rules and critical analysis in business ethics, and sets the proposal for the operationalisation of critical principles of business ethics.
