Name at least three reasons why ethics are important to your job/profession or a job/profession you would like to work in Three reasons why ethics is important would include: it helps improve decision making, allows us to go beyond traditional business theories and it creates a culture of acceptable behavior within an organization.

Once this takes place it allows, executives will be able to see what is occurring beyond traditional business theories. Where, ethics will shape how each theory is applied and to what degree. Over the course of time, the consistent application of ethical standards will become a part of the business culture, as these ideas begin to be utilized, by more people on a regular basis.

("Business Ethics," 2010, pp. 11 -- 15) In either case, both examples show how the ethics of an organization creates: the atmosphere, focus and direction of the company.
