Ethics and Competition Discussion

n economics, we focus on competition and strategies to compete (pricing, advertising, etc.). Setting prices is at the heart of doing business and staying in business. If the price is too low, the firm may not make enough revenue to cover costs. If the price is too high, it may price out potential customers. Advertising can help bring awareness about the product/service. Being truthful is critical to honor God in the way a business represents its business and product/service.
