Unitarian view, Separatist view and Integration view. Unitarian view argues that morality

and ethics are related to business. The Separatist view expressed that, business should

concentrate on profits, and ethics and morality do not form a part of business. The

Integration view defined a new area called business ethics, where ethical behavior and

business are integrated. The external forces like government, market system, law and

services will guide the ethical behavior of the business. Finally, the chapter discusses

about the need or necessity for business ethics - business in order to survive in the long
