The purpose of this study is to explore a scale of business ethical dimensions in Iran. It reviews the
extant business ethics literature on Iran, collects data on ethical conduct from an Iranian company, and analyzes
the data to examine emerging trends. Factor analysis and multi dimensional scaling are applied to an established
survey instrument after reliability is confirmed. The present research brings out the importance of business
ethics dimensions in the continuity of interactions with customers and their trust. Generally, our results indicate
information and a contract norm is the most relevant item in business ethics scales. Such a result is particularly
useful for companies since in the near future it is the conclusive factor for the success or failure of any given
business. Therefore, business manages have to specially emphasize the issues relating to information and the
clarity of contracts. Moreover, we suggest business managers to consider the content of price and distribution
norms. Our findings stress the importance of this factor from the standpoint of customers. This research used
the convenient samples of managers and employee to develop its scale. These samples are acceptable for
exploratory studies. Nevertheless, the results may not be generalizable to general business environments. As
a result, a random sampling method of managers and employees has to make business ethics scale more useful
and generalizable.
