All ethics are business ethics, we just draw false boundaries between business that deal with money and businesses that deal with emotions and babies and companionship.
Ethics are strategies to achieve desires. Short sighted strategies (theft) provide short-term gain but lead to probable downfall. Long-term strategies (honest dealing based on informed consent) may be less profitable today but tend to pay off in the long run. The longer the scope of the strategy, the more ethical it is accepted to be.
"Applied Ethics" are nothing more than putting said understanding of ethics into practice. In this case, the act of considering the length of scope of one's current strategies and adjusting strategies to fit the ideal scope.

business ethics are the way people to business and how they do it. Say a guy wanted a car well the guy selling the car said i'll give you the car if you give me 20 slave workers. well that would be an example of bad business ethic. In some country's that would sound ethical and in some it wouldn't.

ethics that business needs justify as essential ethics! ethics that leads you to success in business! ethics that tells you 'business is business'!

Trying to abide and live by the golden rule (not he who has the gold, rules), doing to others in ways you would like to be treated--and get everything in writing :-)
