Document Summary
In regard to public interest in business ethics during the modern business period approx. the past 30 to 40 years- two conclusions may be drawn: a. b. Interest in business ethics has heightened during each of the past four decades. Interest in business ethics seems to have been spurred by major headline grabbing scandals, particularly within the last several years. The public"s view of business ethics has never been very high. Anecdotal evidence suggests that many citizens see business as essentially a contradiction in terms, an oxymoron, and think that there is only a fine line between a business executive and a crook. Perhaps the most reliable expression of public attitudes on business ethics may be found in the gallup poll, which regularly surveys public opinion of social and political issues. Gallup poll periodically quizzes the public on its perceptions about the ethics of business executives and other professionals.
