Every Businessman does a business to fetch good profit. However, can a person be good businessperson if he/she follows moral principles (such as Gandhi ji's teaching)? On the other hand, General things like

Never say lie.

Never try to pull some one down.

Be honest in your work.

And many more.

Simple question: By following good Ethics, can a person reach a place where he gets high-level recognition (world market level) in business?

if this is already discussed then close it down.

I really truly dislike people who have no ethics - I dislike them being busy doing anything, including their own business 😉

Of course good business is bound by good ethics...One can seem to be successful even without ethics, but there is always slight edge..Things will catch up... 😃

Business without ethics is like Fiat, can go out of business anytime.... and Business with ethics is like Maruti - chalta hi rehtha hai, petrol khatam hi nahi hota 😆 😆 😆

Business done with ethics is as good as not doing business.....but just having a showcase for high values... and prinicples.....

Consumer needs to buy the goods no matter what..So don't tell me s/he is being forced to do it..So where is the question of becoming a victim?

Haha, so according to you, only those who do charity, have ethics...
