Business

One distinguishing feature of business is its economic character. In the world of business, we interact with each other not as family members, friends, or neighbors, but as 1 and sellers, employers and employees, and the like. Trading, for example, is often accompanied by 2 bargaining, in which both sides conceal their full hand and perhaps 3 in some bluffing. And a 4 salesperson is 5 in the art of arousing a customer’s attention (sometimes by a bit of puffery) to 6 the sale. Still, there is an “ethics of trading” that prohibits the use of false or deceptive claims and tricks such as “bait-and-switch” advertising. Buyers buys hard soft well-versed well viewed clinch clench.
