Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2020, vol. 14, issue 1, 688-695

Abstract: There is undoubtedly a growing pressure on SMEs to develop ethical behavior. Entrepreneurs have become increasingly attentive and demanding to the reputation of the business they run. From this point of view, micro and small and medium enterprises have become some of the companies that are influenced because they do not have specific relevant connections, data, information and financial resources and intangible assets to implement as many ethical practices as possible. It becomes very clear that for SMEs it is a luxury to avoid the implementation of ethics in business. Employment priority is the main solution to most of the problems facing the economy (eliminates unemployment, allows the use of human capital more efficiently, minimizes the problem of social exclusion, etc.). As the research of business ethics as well as the research of entrepreneurship become more and more established, the intersection between entrepreneurship and ethics will receive more and more attention. As the research of business ethics as well as the research of entrepreneurship become more and more established, the intersection between entrepreneurship and ethics will receive more and more attention.
