Ethics in business is the new dimension that emerged globally in the modern corporate world. Transparency, responsibility and accountability not just boost confidence of the customers, but also bolster the morale of the employees. Business Ethics is a contribution of the authors towards sensitising different stakeholders of contemporary organisations regarding the issue of corporate governance, corporate social responsibility and business ethics at large.
