3. WHAT IS MEANT BY
BUSINESS ETHICS?
Add a Footer 3
Business ethics refers to
implementing appropriate
business policies and practices
with regard to arguably
controversial subjects. Some
issues that come up in the
discussion of ethics include
corporate governance, insider
trading, bribery, discrimination,
social responsibility, and
fiduciary responsibilities.

4. WHY ETHICS IS IMPORTANT
IN RESEARCH?
• First, norms promote the aims of research, such as knowledge, truth, and
avoidance of error.
• Second, since research often involves a great deal of cooperation and
coordination among many different people in different disciplines and
institutions, ethical standards promote the values that are essential to
collaborative work.
• Third, many of the ethical norms help to ensure that researchers can be
held accountable to the public.
• Fourth, ethical norms in research also help to build public support for
research.
• Finally, many of the norms of research promote a variety of other
important moral and social values.

• Regarding Copyright
You need permission to use figures and tables from other published sources.
• Rights To Privacy
A right to privacy means one has the right to refuse to be interviewed or to refuse to
answer any question in an interview
• Confidentiality
Some sponsors wish to undertake research without revealing themselves.
They have a right to several types of confidentiality including; sponsor non-disclosure,
purpose non-disclosure and findings non-disclosure.
• Right to Quality Research
An important ethical consideration for the researcher and the sponsor is the sponsor’s
right to quality research.

7. AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC
DISHONESTY
• PLAGIARISM: Using other people’s work without
acknowledge their contribution.
• FABRICATION AND FALSIFICATION: Fabrication is
making up results and recording or reporting them.
Falsification is manipulating research materials,
equipment, or processes or changing results.
• NONPUBLICATION OF DATA: Data was suppressed.
• FAULTY DATA GATHERING: If machines are not
calibrated correctly, subjects do not follow procedures
correctly, if untrained research assistants are used.
• POOR DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION: Should be
available for verification of others.
• MISLEADING AUTHORSHIP: People take credit who
really make very little contribution to the study.
ETHICAL DECISION
MAKING IN RESEARCH
• Although codes, policies, and
principles are very important and
useful, like any set of rules, they do
not cover every situation, they often
conflict, and they require
considerable interpretation. It is
therefore important for researchers
to learn how to interpret, assess,
and apply various research rules and
how to make decisions.

8. MODELS OF
MANAGEMENT ETHICS
8
• Moral Management:
It conforms to higher standards of ethical behavior.
• Immoral Management:
A style devoid of ethical principles and active opposition
to what is ethical.
• Amoral Management:
1. Intentional
2. Unintentional

9. WHY MANAGERS
BEHAVE ETHICALLY?
In any type of business, the behavior of all
employees, especially the management reflects on
the company. A manager should always behave
ethically to maintain good representation of
themselves and the company. If a manager
behaves unethical, their employees will most likely
follow their lead.
Thus reduces the company’s performance.
Managers and people in general should realize that
acting unethical, not only affects them personally,
but affects the lives of many other people as well.

10. CONCLUSION
10
• Ethics are important in all aspects of life because it
is an essential part of the foundation. Research
ethics are the set of ethics that govern how
scientific and other research is performed at
research institutions such as universities, and how it
is disseminated.
