Untl recently, in business practce, there was a belief that companies were operatng solely for the proft of their owners. Few companies have recognized the need to combine their actvites with ethics, and in partcular with their obligatons toward society or the environment. However, the percepton of ethical issues has changed radically in business over the last 20 years. If a company wants to be perceived as a reliable business partner and a respected member of the business sector, it should demonstrate a high level of insttutonalizaton of business ethics principles and practces, and it must practce outstanding ethical behavior. This is exceptonally true in some controversial industries. The purpose of our study is to identfy the scale and scope of the use of these principles and practces in two Central European countries, i.e., Poland and Hungary, in three controversial sectors of the economy, i.e., pharmaceutcal, tobacco and alcohol. The data were achieved on the basis of data gathered through survey methodology. The target subjects included a group of 48 companies (25 Hungarian and 23 Polish ones). Our survey mainly focused on the degree of insttutonalizaton of business ethics (such as the presence of a code of conduct, an employee appointed to deal with ethical issues, ethical training, and so on), the perceived ethical behavior of the frms, and their relatonship with their key stakeholders. Our study confrmed that business ethics is regarded as a signifcant factor which has an influence on business success and the corporate image of companies from the sectors in queston. However, it is necessary to emphasize that the scale of this phenomenon varies, across both sectors and countries. The level of insttutonalizaton is somewhat higher at Hungarian frms while preventng and handling corrupton cases are more at the forefront of Polish companies. Although it seems that stakeholders from Polish frms have greater ethical expectatons, we did not observe signifcant differences between perceived ethical behavior in the two countries. The originality of the paper is the result of the presentaton of unique qualitatve research related to business ethics in sensitve sectors of the economy in two Central European countries. To the best of our knowledge, such research is relatvely rare (due to the sensitve nature of the sectors analyzed) not only in these two countries but also on an internatonal scale.

有争议部门的企业社会责任和商业道德:研究结果分析
直到最近,在商业实践中,人们一直认为公司只是为了所有者的利益而经营。很少有公司意识到有必要将自己的行动与道德规范相结合,尤其是对社会或环境的责任。然而,在过去的20年中,道德问题的观念在企业中发生了根本性的变化。如果一家公司希望被视为可靠的业务合作伙伴和受尊敬的业务部门成员,则应展示出高水平的商业道德原则和实践制度,并且必须实践出色的道德行为。在某些有争议的行业中这通常是正确的。我们研究的目的是确定在波兰和匈牙利这两个中欧国家中使用这些原则和实践的规模和范围。经济中三个有争议的部门,即制药,烟草和酒精。数据是根据通过调查方法收集的数据获得的。目标对象包括48家公司(25家匈牙利公司和23家波兰公司)。我们的调查主要侧重于商业道德的制度化程度(例如行为守则的存在,被任命负责处理道德问题的员工,道德培训等),企业员工的道德行为感知及其与主要利益相关者的关系。我们的研究认为,商业道德被认为是一个重要因素,它影响着业务成功和所研究领域公司的公司形象。但是,有必要强调的是,这种现象的规模在各个部门和国家之间都不同。匈牙利公司的制度化水平较高,而预防和处理腐败案件的水平更高,是波兰公司的最前沿。尽管波兰公司的利益相关者似乎具有更高的道德期望,但我们并未观察到两国在感知到的道德行为之间存在显着差异。本文的独创性是在两个中欧国家/地区与经济敏感领域中与商业道德相关的独特质素研究的结果。据我们所知,这样的研究不仅在这两个国家而且在国际规模上都是相对罕见的(由于所分析行业的敏感性)。
