Business ethics is an important part of any industry. Students or managers unfamiliar with many ethical challenges, behaviors, or regulations will struggle in business industries that include finance, accounting, human resource management, marketing, and retail.

Today’s managers must necessarily concern themselves with ethical issues because unethical behavior creates legal risks and damage to businesses, employees, and consumers. Business ethics have become an integral part of business education in general. A student or manager who is well-versed in ethical behavior in practices, not only in the domestic market but internationally, will find him or herself better prepared to deal with issues or situations that may arise that don’t always involve easy answers or decisions.
