Ethical behavior at work is learned by:
reading about why others were fired from the job.
attending corporate responsibility seminars.
tracking the failures of those who are caught in business scandals.
observing the actions of others.
How is the profile of business owners changing?
Businesses owned by minority women are growing at a faster rate than businesses owned by men or nonminority women.
Recent male immigrants, who can legally work in the U.S., are starting businesses at a faster rate than natural-born male citizens, and at a faster rate than all women.
In the U.S., men between the ages of 18 and 24 are starting businesses at a faster rate than men of all ages, or women of all ages.
It is difficult to collect information on the profile of business owners. Most new businesses do not file so they don't have to pay taxes.
