business practices
How firms operate
Business practices are the methods and procedures a company uses to conduct its operations—how it handles transactions, treats employees, markets products, and deals with customers.
The term often appears in evaluative contexts: ethical business practices, questionable business practices, industry-standard business practices.
Someone investigating a company's business practices is usually concerned with whether they're fair, legal, or honest.
