EXPLANATION

Ethic itself refers to the right and legal behavior that a person will do. Even though no one is going to notice if you do the wrong things, you still choose to do the right things anyway. So, when we talk about unethical behavior in business, it is the action that does not align with the standards of business operation. Unethical behavior means failing to do the right thing when you need to.

Unethical behavior can be done individually or even in a group. An individual can do unethical behavior during the time she or he is working. A group or even the whole company can do unethical behavior too. It can become a corporate culture to do unethical activities within the company. The whole business is doing unethical activities, from the top down, and this is very disastrous.

It is important to keep it in mind that unethical activity does not have to be an illegal activity at the same time. Of course, at times it can be both unethical and illegal activity, but that’s not always the case. There are many things that a person can do within the law, but it is still unethical. Their actions hurt the society even though it still follows the law.
