From the Paper:

"While discussing the application of business ethics theories to a typical office worker's experience, we should first discuss the concept of business ethics.

"In very simple terms the concept of ethics involves learning what is right or wrong and then deciding to go for the right thing. However, in practical terms it is not that easy to determine the right thing as is discussed in many management and business ethics literatures. Majority of the ethical problems or issues faced by a person in the workplace are not that simple to be solved as it apparently seems while going through the literature on business ethics, which recommend a "complete" solution to the problem."
