Why is there dishonesty in business?

[Starmix]

There is no single easy answer to this question , but there are assumed reasons why dishonesty occurs in a certain business. One reason is , dishonesty can be a survival mechanism . People may lie to protect themselves from harm, avoid punishments , or gain an advantage the same way n business, The owner may tell lies about the real pricing of the products for personal gain. Another reason, dishonesty can be used to gain material wealth, power or social status .People may cheat , steal, or lie to get what they want. In business, the owner may aspire to build a business empire so by all means he must carry his plans to achieve wealth.

Dishonest businesses may lack empathy for their customers . They may not consider the consequences if the customers learn the real prices from the other business rivals. The customers will neve come back if that happens to them. Business owners must uphold dignity to protect their reputation.

I think one of the reasons why there is dishonesty in business is because people are greedy. They want to make money as quick as possible.

There are people who are dishonest. When these people run a business, they will not run an ethical business. They may lie about the effects of their products or sell fake products.

I agree with you on this. And there are so many of them lurking around pretending and assuring not to get caught. But there's no forever to do a dishonest transaction in business. The time comes, customers will realize and it might be late to make amends either in business or personal life.

Dishonesty in business happens if the owner wants to get rich as soon as possible. His malicious tricks are not advisable for others who may like to do the same act, the time comes when you will be caught and pay the price of overpricing your products despite not being qualified for such an increase.

A dishonest business person never thrives. He will be condemned by the people and his conscience. He might face the law if there are aggressive customers to sue the owner in court. It will be crucial for his business reputation.

Yes you are right, as long as there are still people like this out there, there will always be dishonest people in business.

Although honesty is the main principle and ethics in business, we cannot deny that there are many dishonest entrepreneurs due to various factors such as internal motivation, the entrepreneur already has a dishonest character, so he wants to quickly achieve the target or make a big profit, while the external factor is the opportunity to cheat or be dishonest.

It is sometimes the urge to make wealth at all cost. people just want to make money especially when it comes to business to amass wealth

Some businessmen are dishonest, they want to recover fast their capital. They also want to have advanced budget for rentals and bills. I believe that after they recover their capital and advanced rents, I believe they have conscience to stop their cheats.
