Abstract

Business relations ethics is a procedure theoretically necessary and of a great social importance, which, starting from the analysis of “what this is”, points out the moral experience in a controversial domain of the human action, “what should this be”, as for the businesses to be recognized as a profession, and for the business trainings to subordinate the same moral exigency as in the public administration, law, medicine, education, etc. To start with, a first argument that justifies the privileged position of business ethics in the multitude of applied ethics is that today businesses themselves are – and this didn’t always happened - a central and respectable activity, in a society that is dominated by the open economy and the creative virtues of enterprisers free competition. Therefore, business ethics evolved from the continuous attack over capitalism and profit reaching to more productive and constructive examination of the basic rules of business practicing. The present study is aiming, in its first part, to identify those arguments which justify the central position of business ethics among the applied ethics, and next, in the second part, to debate the newest issues people confront with in a transition society, which strongest point doesn’t seem to be under no circumstances the morality of those involved in business.
