    A moral philosophy is a set of principals one adheres to based on things she/he deems are right or wrong. "Honesty is the best policy" would be my choice for matters of business. The worst business experience is when you enter into an agreement or buy from someone who is dishonest and then you are forced to face the repercussions. That or someone who conducts business in a dishonest way is bound to get caught (i.e. former Governor of New York). This person then risks the reputation of the current business field s/he professionalizes in, his/her colleagues and the company s/he represents as a whole. If business was conducted with common courtesy and honesty then there would be less corporate litigation, suspicion, etc. I also think there would be more employee loyalty (an employee is faithful to the company s/he works for; in it for the long haul). A lot of employees leave when they discover the business practices of they companies they work for are far from honest.
