1) Which of the following statements is decisive in determining whether or not to study
business ethics?
ST
A) Business managers don't need to study ethics in order to know how to treat employees,
shareowners, and customers.

by profit, overrides the interests of employees, customers, and communities. Opinion
UV
and sentiment get in the way of efficient business decision-making.
C) Ethical concerns are as unavoidable in business as are concerns of marketing,
accounting, finance, and human resources. Formal study of business ethics helps
