Ethics is derived from the Greek word "ethos", which means "way of living", ethics is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with human conduct, more specifically the behavior of individuals in society. What does it mean to "put business and ethics together?" This simply means that there are principles which govern every aspect of the company's operations, including its interaction with the government and other businesses, its treatment of its employees and its relationship with its customers. For a company, well everyone involved with the company must be treated fairly, meaning not just the company profit, but everyone is a winner.

2. I believe some managers are uncomfortable discussing ethics with their employee's because at the end of the day we are all humans, and they might be dealing with unethical behaviors towards the employees. They also have to be conscious of what they say and how they address their employees, because it could affect production, another reason they have to be careful that whatever they say does not affect the company as a whole.
