Sažetak
It is easy to define ethics, but there is a question what ethics means to us - corporations, individuals, employees, costumers, society in general etc.? Ethical questions about the way we live and do business and interact with one-another, have become major issues that will decide what kind of future we will inherit. In corporation, boards have great influence on business ethics through decisions, procedures, rights, and that is what opens acceptance of ethics in work of any individuals in organizations. We wanted to explore the theoretical approach of ethics in business and the “position” of ethics in Croatian corporation and underline the main ethical problems. The goal of this paper is to highlight key concept of ethics in Croatian corporations. Research limitation was subject matter because managers were not willing to talk about ethics and unethical behaviour in their corporations. Findings showed that corporate governance in Croatia is still in an early phase – they are protecting shareholders, transparency policy is partly implemented, board has not set up procedures to enhance ethical behavior. The value of this paper is based on the uniqueness of the research results about corporate governance and ethics in Croatian corporations.
