Article Abstract:
Business ethics must be developed as an academic discipline in order to improve business practice. A problem and action-oriented approach to the study of business ethics is adopted. It is assumed that ethics and economics are both important and that one discipline does not dominate the other. Furthermore, the goal-rights-system is used as a framework in discussing the importance of human rights and the necessity of discussing goals at all levels of human action.
