Sure, there are certain decision you will want to take but they are against your moral or the community moral standards and feel you shouldn't take it any longer.this may not be to you alone but with the consideration of others.
You have to understand that you are doing any business for humans and they have expectations of morality from you based on the moral standards of that place.. If you deviate, you incur the wrath of the people and this can affect your business drastically.
While some unscrupulous business persons may ignore morals when making decisions, it is difficult to disregard one's beliefs. Beliefs encompass many aspects of a person's composition and are bound influence decision-making, regardless of whether this impact is not consciously appreciated.
Yes, I think morals and ethics play a role in decision making. You do not want to sell any products which may cause harm to your customers. That may seriously affect the reputation of your business.
Yeah, people do not like to be seen near such products as they believe it is against their moral and the position which they uphold in the society which may bring down their reputation and also affect their business as a whole.
This is something that is very correct because it is even going to make you run your business in a way that you are not going to do some silly things to your customers in terms of trying to make profit.
That's right I agree with you. I will also do the same as you. I will not take up a business that goes against my morals and beliefs. Because if I force myself to take it then I will never feel calm and will continue to be haunted by guilt as long as I still carry out the business decision.
Some customers take advantage of the principle: "The customer is always right." I personally think that it should not be abused by these people. For me, it depends on what situation/s should take their sides.
