Abstract: Abstract Is it possible to be successful in business and at the same time behave in a manner which is thought to be morally acceptable? This is an issue which has been addressed by moralists who see a conflict between the profit seeking motive determining business decisions and the wider social responsibilities of those in business to their fellow citizens. Business ethics encompasses all aspects of business, from issues of pricing to marketing, production methods and employment practice. One aim is to establish codes of ‘good practice’ which take account of the moral consequences of business decisions and not simply their financial impact.
