Abstract

Ethical issues in business are related to the rights and duties that it has with its stakeholders. Business ethics involves the study of the good and bad conduct of these stakeholders in a business context (William, 2008). Stakeholders include employees, customers, neighbors and suppliers. Integrating business ethics practically into the operations of businesses remain a challenge (George and Tom, 2010). Ethics has an impact on business through personal and organizational levels.

Businesses should always keep both internal and external promises. Businesses build trust through keeping their promises to their customers. Justifications to non-compliance to promises should not be allowed. Loyalty should be exercised to protect the interests of the company and their colleagues.

Decisions that top managers take should consider justice on the people that it will impact on. They should be open to views and criticisms from the decisions that they make.
