| Tiivistelmä: | In this article, examined are the unique ethical concerns faced by small nature-based (here as: sm-n-b.) entrepreneurs (here as: e-prns.) in their everyday business operations. By using qualitative, empirical data, six kinds of business situations were identified to bring about moral consideration: 1. the selection of raw material suppliers, 2. reconciling the quality of production and the lack of resources, 3. the pricing process, 4. the content of marketing information, 5. the close relationships to employees, and 6. the collaboration with other e-prns. The ethical argumentation was examined in relation to three ethical theories: utilitarian ethics, deontology and virtue-ethics. It is shown that typical for the decision-making of the sm-n-b. e-prns. is the variety of ethical arguments used and the important role of customers and employees influencing the ethical views of the e-prns. |
