A look into the world of business ethics and a review of Albert Carr's article: "is Business Bluffing Ethical?"

Albert Carr's article entitled "Is Business Bluffing Ethical", explains that business is like a game with its own set of rules and ethical standards, such that deception does not apply to the business world as it does in ordinary life. In Carr's opinion, a businessperson will only succeed and be profitable in the business industry if that person follows a set of ethics, separate from society's religious ethics. These fundamental business rules include: misleading consumers; …

…recognize that their decisions need to be based on approval from customers and employees. Businesses understand that by using ethics parallel to the majority of societal values they are not at a disadvantage. Finally, as Alan V. Potter stated, "almost all day-to-day business is conducted verbally or on the basis of non-legal documents. Our economic system would collapse without mutual trust" (Blodgett, p239), thus business and societal ethics must align once again. Word Count - 1760
