Abstract: This study investigates the intellectual structure of the literature on business ethics in developing countries. As a starting point, Turkey was chosen as one of the developing countries to provide a foundational assessment for future research in other countries. In this context, papers published and masters and doctoral theses prepared in Turkey were evaluated using a bibliometric analysis. As a result, 113 dissertations and 105 articles are included in the research. Findings show the research on business ethics continues to grow in developing countries, but has a very muddled structure due to the absence of pioneering authors and institutions and a general disagreement within the international literature in citation style. Accordingly, referring to the findings related to the study, the article discusses limitations of the study and future steps.
