Study of what constitutes right and wrong (good and bad) human conduct in a business context. Concerns behaviour of serious consequence to human welfare that can profoundly harm or benefit people. Must be distinguished from: (1) ettiquette rules for well-mannered behaviour (2) law statutes, regulations, common law, and constitutional law. Concerns of which the violation of these standards do not pose threat to human well-being i. e etiquette, fashion, grammatical. Theory that right and wrong are determined by what one"s society deems as right and wrong no absolute ethical standard. Many problems with this theory (i. e supposedly business would have its own morality) The of business business has been considered a with distinct rules and customary ways of doing things.
