Summary/Abstract: In "Psychology of decision making", David M. Messick and Max M. Bazerman state: "Ethics in decision making has been dominated by the fact that executives have to make, constantly, a trade-off between profits and ethics". Successful executives need to have precise knowledge about the environment in which they operate. If they lack such knowledge, they need to be able educate themselves. If a manager is not able to estimate the consequences of his decisions, these can backfire and can cause both financial and ethical problems for both the decision maker and the company." Before an Ethical Code is produced, the current level of ethics in management needs to be analyzed, so when producing, implementing and monitoring an Ethics Code, the internal and external results of the company are taken into account.

We can conclude that, an Ethics code for the small and medium enterprises in Maramures County is not only a code, but a legal paper which defines relationships between different players in the enterprise, irrespective of the position occupied.
