Mostly, the core business values should be followed as ethics plays one of the vital roles in this modern era of business and this can also impact either positively or negatively the brand image, public perception and company profitability and employee productivity as well. The approach of business ethics is somewhere different from the general ethics.

With the creation of code of ethics SAP (business Intelligence Tools and solutions) will be able to meet the company objectives and consumers requirements successfully.

Thus, it is very much crucial for the company to create positive working ambiance so that the employees can deliver best of their services.

• Though SAP is one of the leading competitors in the ICT industry all over the world, it has faced huge challenges while moving to other segments of products with the current culture.
• The ratio of profitability and percentage of the net contribution are extremely lower than the average industry
• The financial profitability designed and developed by the company is not appropriate (Cloutier, Myers and Asprea-Wright 2017)

• Proper economic upstick as well as increase in consumer spending after long years of recession and slower growth rate in the industry is referred to as an opportunity for the SAP so that it can capture new consumers to increase the market share (Binder 2016)
• The competitive advantages will be diluted through the help of the market development. Compare to other competitors this approach followed by the company is much accurate from the business perspectives
