In our paper present a ethical and successful feminine entrepreneurship also business based on the principles of Christian ethics, respective „Mary Kay Cosmetics”. We try to debate the ethical caryatides of this business. Also, We try to argue the readers, you, of Mary Kay Ash belief, that the slogan „Business is Business” is a cold, selfish and arrogant slogan, and the other hand more truly is Rockefeller’s statement „More than anything else, I value the ability to deal with people”.
