Business ethics

Ashraful Alam, Department of Business Administration, Shahjalal University of Science & Technology,
Today world business is the most important topic. Like every other activity, business too has it's own ethics and rules, which should to be followed honestly. Tempted by the desire of gleaning fat profit, businessmen often indulge in nefarious activities like adulteration, hoarding, black-marketing, smuggling etc which are very detrimental to the economy. Adulteration is a threat to public health. Hoarding obstructs the smooth and steady growth of the economy. Black-marketing causes inflation, deprives the government of substantial monetary resources that could be used for social welfare. Smuggling is another anti-social activity that drains away the country's resources and hinders economic growth. The businessmen community should follow business ethics.
