Abstract: | Within the general frame of proposals for an adequate management of business ethics, this paper is based on the vision of
corporate culture as a pattern to achieve such purpose. If we consider ethics as a specific value of corporate culture, we
may resort to the mechanism of cultural change and implementation in order to manage ethics. Despite the difficulties it entails
in terms of time and money investment, this procedure is one of the safest ways to reach ethical values which are known, shared
and then practiced by all the members of a corporation, whatever the category. From this central standpoint, and basing ourselves
on our own proposal for the management of culture, we shall describe which specific steps must be taken in order to achieve
a set of ethical values which are both realistic and furthermore shared by all collaborators of an organization.
