I don't think so. On the other hand business is about competition and growth and it must be ethical within this context.

Yes many times but still it does exist as people are becoming greedy for money and want short cuts to get rich and establish their empire ethics goes out of the window. But a man with ethics always have good feeling about it and will cherish more than a man with no ethics as success doesnt stay for long if its not managed properly it can be killed by arrogance, feeling kick of power and money and forgeting nothing is above the god so everywhere people should believe in ethics its a important part of life.

Ethics is very much important for business and today we have legislations to monitor ethical issues in businesses. Today most of the global companies take these things strongly with employees, their dealings with external agencies like customers, suppliers, contractors, etc. Many companies fallen from their peak due to ethical issues.

I feel Ethics in a business is very relevant today than the past and it is quite serious.

But deployment in small companies is not the extent what legislation expects.

Ethic is one of the most important things. To set up any kind of business, the basic thing that one needs to understand is the client need and happiness.

Ethics are an integral part of any business association that seeks to survive and increase in the long run.  Business ethics are the base of  any good  corporate  culture.  If going ethical you can no longer stay on that top position.

Nowadays business is going business for business they don’t have ethics in their business. Many  corporate giants  will be  unethical in  one or the other  way and would add numbers to the revenues just to get more exposure or increases sales.

Ethics is not at all a passing fashion in business. Because every business runs on the consistency of customers on their product. A business man can earn profit with unethical rules of their business but only for a short time. Trust of customers totally depends on Ethics. Unethical things may work for short term profit but for long term profit business should follow ethics.

Being ethical should always be fire in the heart of a business men in the business world and also other people which helps in building a slight but the most important relations and people which is quite indispensable for the expansion of an organization.Ethics is a concealed and always driving force for every corporate individual which can be proved through the development we gain till now in business sector. So ethics is never a passing fashion.

Ethics are one of the most important principles on which an organisation runs (any organisation for that matter). Nothing can survive constant unethical behavior. But with profit-centered business policies, its become common to flout ethical standards.

Ethics in business is not a passing fashion, its organization commitment to itself that it won't do unacceptable things.

 Many large organizations are committed to ethics because these can be reflected in company financial position via share price. Some companies independent of size follow ethics because they want to earn money and still do well. Some companies may adhere to ethics to just build good perception in eyes of public. Finally some may not do business and follow ethics. 

Its may not be true that what is unethical is illegal. An illegal act can be ethical and vice-versa.

I see the Ethics as a pillar of the Business!

Without good ethics, Business might fail in its operation in the future!

in government organizations, good ethics should be practiced at all times or else you will face a serious administrative case against violation or misconduct of your behaviour!
