Abstract: | The popular perception is that business is full of dishonest scoundrels who cheat, lie and do worse things to increase their profits. This perception is reinforced by the way businesspeople are depicted in the media. According to one study, during the 1980s almost 90 percent of all business characters on television were portrayed as corrupt. No one can deny that businesspeople, as most of us, have fallen short of ethical ideas that businesspeople are dishonest is greatly exaggerated. |
