Does the business world have its own rules regarding ethical and moral standards?

Answer 1

I think it certainly tries. In an ideal world, morality should be a constant. However, money adds a complicated twist to right and wrong. Many people are willing to rationalize their actions for cold, hard cash.

We all should learn a lesson from people like Kenneth Lay, Andrew Fastow, Bernard Ebbers and Martha Stewart. The business world pretends that it has its own rules regarding ethical and moral standards but the truth is "right and wrong" will always be "right and wrong".

Answer 2

If they didn't before, they probably do now, especially after Enron. Profit and stockholders still remain the priority, though.
