of course is not acceptable to lie in business  because business is all about building and maintaining successful relationship  and of course you will not continue your business relationship with someone who lie, because this is risk your business .

Inmy opinion truth and lieing is the outcome of traditional thinking ,we can get rid of the stranglehold of this2400 years old thinking by  creating and genrating proto-truths (truths felixible enough to be replaced by better ones as we get any ).

In any context lieing shall not be appreciated. Many business men do that many more sales people do it even more the mass media advertisement does it. But Business and trade should be fare and honest so that the buyers should know what they are paying for and the seller should know what they are earning for. This is also advised by Holy Prophet may peace be upon Him that one should be fare in his deailngs.

NO. Some people lie to see some immediate benefits, but it will damage their reputation in their longterm business. So, it is inacceptable to lie in business.

Short term lie brings happiness, but it would hamper reputation in the long term for the organization. My opinion is that lie cannot carry good think for the people as well as organization.
