The notion of play requires us to systematically formulate the notions of objective and strategy, which are theoretically and almost of great importance. The systematic and precise methodology is the key element of mathematical-logico theory of "strategy games" (von Neumann and Morgenstern 2004, 1). The official character of the game theory allows it to be applied to different types of contexts (von Neumann and Morgenstern 2004, Kuhn & Nasar 2002).

Public authorities govern the legal rules of business games via legislation. Laws can not be broken and are equal for each player. The games are played in a society that presents several types of social habits. These, at the same time, apply favorable pressure to certain types of behaviors and habits generate social "standards" that bring social and possibly ethical values ​​in business games. That is, business games are not played in a distinct reality, but rather our international common or international or global reality. However, habits are-local-definition and (day of the day) are global (Vilke 2011a). Therefore, there is a tension regarding the origin of business ethics.

Ethics can be understood as a branch of philosophy and business ethics as a branch of ethics (general). As a field of academic study, ethics can be understood as a theoretical field of study that has no connection with our practical lives or business practices. Business ethics can - and to some extent must be carried out in an "ivory tower", but the study may not be an innocent conceptual analysis without practical consequences: Conceptual work simultaneously changes our understanding and behavior (MacIntyre 1985). To better understand that, let us remember that when Plato says that "such was the end, the ecrates, our friend, who was, as we can say, of all those of his time that we knew, the best and the most Sage and the highest right man in Phaedo (118a), he does not express a common truth (ethics) as we wish to assume. At that time, Socrates' behavior was not so obviously (ethically) although We understand it nowadays. At that time, the balance in the distinction between "natural" (physis) and conventional (Norm) has not been evaluated as it is today, which can be seen from declarations given by callices in the Plato Gorgies (483a-e). In fact, the statement of Plato cited above was not a description of the ethical understanding of its time, but rather a starting point of our new type of understanding of the ethical good (Hintikka 1969).
