Summary
One cannot open a newspaper these days without some ethical issue being mentioned, often rather prominently so. Sometimes this concerns business ethics: the most debated scandal of 2015, for instance, was the way a car manufacturer had aimed to circumvent emission standards by installing doctored computer technology. What is more, this car manufacturer had done so despite the existence of legal rules on the topic, and despite the circumstance that those rules seem clear enough, if not in their detail, then at least in what they aim to prevent.
