Enterprises should ensure the satisfaction and trust of the customers, partners, employees, suppliers, public and all stakeholders in order to survive in today's competitive conditions. Being trustworthy is considered to be one of the most important requirements for the enterprise to reach its long-term goals. The way to ensure this condition is that enterprises adopt the behaviors and practices in accordance with ethical principles. Market conditions, globalization and increasingly internationalization of firms make it necessary to adopt ethical behavior in order to be successful. Ethics is a matter of discussion. The fact that this issue has two conflicting sides and the necessity of addressing these two sides while analyzing the problem has also revealed the concept of ethical dilemma, which is a matter of moral philosophy.

In the literature, the concept of ethical dilemma has mostly been examined in the field of health sciences so far and the issue of ethical dilemmas in enterprises has not been adequately included. In the literature review of the ethical dilemma, it is seen that the ethical dilemma studies in the enterprises are mostly concentrated in the accounting field. In this study, the ethical dilemmas encountered in the business world are discussed from different perspectives with an emphasis on the concepts related to ethics and decision-making mechanisms.
