 CONCLUSION

Business ethics and organizational behavior is a highly complex

topic. It's complicated because some businesses give more
importance to ethics than others while some organizations impose
such values but to a lesser extent or may make exceptions.
Business ethics must penetrate into the organizational behavior of
a company in order to be sustained. Business ethics and
organizational behavior go hand-in-hand.
