1. Business Bluffing

Demands of business and ethics is not a conflict of rules, but a conflict of duty. In “Bluffing” Carr does not suggest an analogy between business ethics and religious ethics (or personal ethics), despite the fact that they are both goal-directed and rule-governed? Business ethics has its own set of game rules and strategy, therefore.
