Abstract
PurposeThis paper examines the flow of thoughts on Business Ethics research lines from experts of European countries.Design/methodology/approachA Delphi method was used to achieve consensuses among the perceptions and opinions of experts about Business Ethics matters. Moreover, the research agenda is investigated using a Delphi process developed with the participation of 12 experts from eight countries (France, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and Hungary) from March to September 2015.FindingsThe state of the art based on the expert panel’s consensuses on the emerging issues in Business Ethics permits the early detection of emerging lines, thus narrowing the research line and decreasing subject selection time. Additionally, an active research map has been constructed based on researchers, countries, and lines of investigation.Originality/valueThere is a gap in the representation of the research on certain management topics in Business Ethics, so this research will constitute a significant and valuable tool for novel researchers. It is useful for creating a research agenda.

Summary
Business Ethics is not different in this regard [40], and there are many different issues integrated as Business Ethics topics and problems. The aim of this paper is to establish the most important issues in Business Ethics. We will ask Business Ethics experts a range of questions to determine their views about the emergent issues in Business Ethics to develop a research agenda. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate, based on actual Business Ethics academic experts’ perspectives, the future of suggested topics that will probably be relevant for scholars working in topics of Business Ethics or related fields in Europe. We have used a Delphi method with the participation of 12 experts from eight European countries (France, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, and Hungary) from March to September 2015
