Abstract
Norms of business ethics and experience are usually divided into two paths, the former is primarily the work of the philosopher, the latter is a social scientist's work. Specification concerns the Institute, the main problem for the behavior should be contingent, empirical research is concerned about another problem, he incurs the practice is what actions, which acts for a variety of real-world phenomena of the descriptions. This article attempts by the two paths in the methodology of the initial reflection, on the one hand that the two areas of business ethics scholars for the current state of research, its research methods, what are the differences and what are possible during the relationship, on the other hand, this trying to point out that despite the existence of two research paths methodological differences, but not entirely impossible to have common ground that the complete separation of the two claims, the consequences of its own in the establishment and operation are possible. The studies of business ethics are usually divided into two kinds: normative and empirical approaches. This paper explains differences between two approaches in methodological level and discusses whether there is not any possibility of overlapping in methodological level between them
