"Ethics is the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligations. Ethical behavior is that which conforms to accepted standards of conduct. Ethical reasoning involves sorting out the principles that help determine what is ethical when faced with an ethical dilemma. An ethical dilemma is a situation or problem facing an individual that involves complex and often conflicting principles of ethical behavior. In business, ethical dilemmas often arise when managers face conflicting values. For example, a salesperson might face the dilemma of telling the truth about a product and thus losing a sale and his or her commission."
