AB  - Business ethics is an area growing in importance
for business managers. Research in the USA
suggests that three‐quarters of major corporations
have specific codes of ethics, and in the UK some
40 per cent (and increasing) of major organisations
have codes of ethics. This article explains a survey
on corporate ethics undertaken in the UK and
points to some reasons why firms choose to have
codes of ethics, and why some firms do not. It
concludes by suggesting that further research is
needed, especially on the perceived benefits of
a corporate code of ethics to organisations.
