Marketing products to buyers profitably is a broad objective of each and every business organization. However, due to the fierce competition amongst the business organizations in the marketplace, these organizations may be tempted to take a different path to have a control over the marketplace as well as the buyers. Such different paths by business organizations are usually considered questionable in terms of their ethical quotient. These practices may bring the organizations success in terms of amassing money and growth in a short term. But, on the other hand, it may hamper the progress of customer retention policy and brand image of these organizations in the long run. In this programme on marketing ethics, different ethical issues pertaining to the field of marketing are focused upon.
