From the Paper:

"Within the last decades several studies have been conducted regarding the importance of ethics in business at the corporate and executive level. One such study was published by Harvard University's Graduate School of Business, written by Lynn Sharp Pain and explored the need for managing an organization's integrity(Paine, 1994). Paine believes that managers often think ethics are a question of personal scruples that is confidential between them and their conscious."
