This paper is focused on discussing aesthetics and ethics within business and how they come together to influence the nature of moral judgements and creative processes. Leadership, branding, and firm’s morale are also impacted by aesthetic and ethical decisions, so iterating on these points will allow us to better understand why businesses make the interesting aesthetic choices that they do. We also discuss how these business philosophies differ between different nations and cultural backgrounds.
