Question

a ) What Is The Definition Of “Business Ethic” , 
b) Why Business Ethics Is Considered “OXYMORON”


The  www.investopedia.com websites define "business ethics" as the study of proper business policies and practices regarding potentially controversial issues, such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary responsibilities. Business ethics are often guided by law, while other times provide a basic framework that businesses may choose to follow in order to gain public acceptance.

Business ethics as being explained also are implemented in order to ensure that a certain required level of trust exists between consumers and various forms of market participants with businesses. For example, a portfolio manager must give the same consideration to the portfolios of family members and small individual investors. Such practices ensure that the public is treated fairly.


While "http://www.businessethics.ca" define "business ethics" as the critical, structured examination of how people &    institutions should behave in the world of commerce. In particular, it involves examining appropriate constraints on the pursuit of self-interest, or (for firms) profits, when the actions of individuals or firms affects others.



Other than that, "www.ndssbiz.wikispaces.com"define  "business ethics" as the study of proper business policies and practices regarding potentially controversial issues, such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary responsibilities. Business ethics are often guided by law, while other times provide a basic framework that businesses may choose to follow in order to gain public acceptance

                  Besides that,we should know that business ethic is not law. it is ethic in the business life "structured examination of how people and institutions should behave in the world of commerce" but business ethics are often guided by law, while other times provide a basic framework that business may choose to follow in order to gain.

                  By oxymoron, that mean the bringing together of two apparently contradictory concepts like cheerful pessimist of deafening silence.

                  The main purpose of a business activity is to maximize profit. Many cases have been recorded till date on how ethics cannot be applied in business. Some of the famous cases on wrong conduct of business are the cases of Franklin Jurado guilty to money laundering and the cases of bribery in Malaysia.
