Business Ethics in the recent past has been a force to reckon with in the business world. The interaction between buyers, sellers and suppliers is founded on some ethical practices that need to be upheld, if the relationship between the parties is anything to go by. Both sides of the bargain are expected to maintain a code of conduct to enhance the relationship between the parties. However, this has only been but an ideal scenario. Practically, a huge number of unethical practices are reported annually in various sectors. Notably, these are just but reported cases of unethical practices going on in the business world, the number could be higher if the many cases that go unreported were all to be included in the research. Failing to attain the code of conduct is generally referred to as unethical business ethics.

In the current world, maintaining a high level of business ethics is utterly critical for the success of any organization. Both parties that interact in the business world are required to exhibit the highest level of ethical standards. For businesses in the world today, maintaining a high level of business ethics is critical for the prosperity of the business. Business ethics is practicable in the simple interactions between businesses and their customers; for instance, in customer support, meeting the customers’ expectations, abiding by the standards set by various institutions, among several other factors (Johansen & Byrian, 2010). The respect of a firm or a business unit in an industry is largely based on its ability to maintain a healthy and ethical relationship between such a company and the consumers who depend on its products and services.

The topic of business ethics is a very extreme yet very sensitive at the same time. It calls for an in depth and very critical analysis. Without the two previously mentioned ingredients, handling this topic is but a pipe dream. With full awareness of the nature of the topic and with an in-depth understanding of the relevant factors associated with the topic, I believe I am well positioned to comfortably handle the volatility and sensitivity of the topic. My conduct with regards to the applicability of ethics in day to day activities also put me in a good position to discuss this very sensitive issue (Kenneth, 2011). Furthermore, having analyzed the business world for quite so long, I feel better placed to research into the discussion on business ethics.

As business ethics is a wide topic, I have a great effort ahead of me to gather all the relevant information in order to come up with conclusive research. The majority of the work in this research is intensely founded on both the business world as well as the generally accepted social morals. A combination of the two previously mentioned factors form the accepted standards of conducting business. The research will therefore have to seek the opinions and commentaries from various scholars in the business world as well as specialists in ethics. The research will be informed by various sources such as text book, case studies, reports, scholarly online sources such as the Harvard Business Review, among a variety of other factors. All these are set to ensure that the authenticity of this research is guaranteed and that all the information included in the final research are not only up to date but also well referenced.
