Ethics in business: Political climate and the survival of business in Nigeria

Abstract

The study examines ethics in business, political climate and the survival of business in Nigeria Secondary sources of data were used as veritable tools for its analysis. Findings revealed that a society that is not politically secured like Nigeria will not guarantee business survival. The study is anchored on the Global Systems Theory. The gap of the study is that there is a nexus between business survival and security and the latter should be prioritized if the first is to be achieved. The study concludes that ethics is a concern for ideal standards of human conduct and the fundamental values of man and business are incorporated here. The study recommends that for business to succeed in Nigeria and attracting both local and foreign investors, her political climate that is riddled with violent extremism, banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery, corruption, boko haram and militancy, epileptic power supply, unfavorable exchange rate etc. should give way so that business objective will be realized in the best interest of all Nigerians.
