The findings are of interest to business practitioners as they provide insight into the implementation and supporting measures required to enhance the perceived corporate commitment to ethics. The empirical and interpretive findings make a valuable contribution to the literature and serve as point of reference in the field that will benefit future researchers working in business ethics.
