Abstract

The path pf preventing and solving the environmental problems in the world is surrounded by innovations, new technologies. However, it should not be overlooked that these are aimed at human well-being and are mainly coordinated by companies. People make decisions for people but along with different interests. Understanding the personal values behind the business decision can move forward a more responsible approach to business. The paper presents 100 government and 100 business student’s opinions about business ethics by selected questions of the ATBEQ questionnaire. The results show that self-sacrifice is not kept immoral by the students, and morality can go beyond self-interest. However, the primary responsibility of companies is making money. There are few significant differences found between government and business students, but the distributions of the responses suggest different patterns of thinking.
