Business ethics during the life cycle of Croatian companies in transition
Numerous studies have shown that leadership has a primary role in promoting ethical behavior in companies. To achieve success, however, leadership needs to base their strategic plans on ethical values they abide by when making their business decisions. However, it is important to note that strategic plans, as well as organizational activities and structures, management method and administrative systems, differ depending on a company's life cycle. Therefore, the role of leadership is to understand how these activities, structures, and systems change over time and how they affect the ethics of corporate behavior. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to study dependence of business ethics and company life cycle in Croatian companies in transition. The survey research was conducted using a random sample of Croatian small, medium and large companies. Hierarchical regression methods were applied to make a conclusion. The results suggest that the level of company’s ethics depends on whether it is in the stage of growth, maturity or decline. The results of the paper could be considered practical advice for leaders to better understand the dependence of business ethics and company life cycle and thus more easily contribute to further improvement of companies’ business ethics.
