 BUSINESS
ETHICS
Corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility, fiduciary duties, and
many other potentially contentious topics are only a few of the topics covered in the study of business ethics.
Business ethics occasionally serve as a fundamental guideline that businesses can go by to win the public's
approval. The law frequently serves as a guide for business ethics.

Ethical Activities Unethical Activities

Incentivize Ethical Behavior
To increase ethical behavior, you need to use
rewards as well as punishment. A reward can be
as simple as praise in the face of good behavior
— particularly when it would be easy for an
employee to act unethically.
Unfair Competition
Defamation of a competitor, misappropriation of
their trade secrets, and trade mark infringement –
all these fall under unfair competition which gives a
wrong impression to the consumers about the
competitor and its products. It is not wrong to use a
competitor’s name in the marketing material, but it
should not deplore the company or its products.
