Small business is a major component of societies, especially now. Being in leadership positions in small business is something which many times involves tough decisions to be taken. The major question that this book addresses is whether ethical decision making in small business is a paragon that needs to be taken into consideration? Surviving and growing is something which involves many aspects that need to be taken into consideration too. One of them is the human factor, which many consider to be a crucial paragon, more important than even strategy implementation. Under this prism, this book will investigate both the ethical paragons involved in small business ethical decision-making process and their consequences and the implementation of the right culture in small business as a paragon of stability and growth. The author sheds some light into aspects that we all have encountered in our professional lives and which sometimes had major impact on both business and the environment.
