It is a normative field, prescribing a series of precepts and values that motivate a series of behaviors in parallel with the prohibition of others. Business ethics is a distinct field of applied ethics, manifesting itself like other branches (ethics in the teaching field, medical ethics, etc.) by applying general principles, the most important being utility or duty.
