Applied anthropologists work in a variety of settings. Their role in the private sector is steadily increasing, with approximently 47% of employed anthropologists and archaeologists, with a bachelors degree, employed in the private sphere (Fogg 1999:360). Combining anthropology and business is becoming more popular. Through our research, we attempted to determine if anthropology and business can maintain an ethical relationship. Through a literature review and a number of interviews with social scientists, we looked to find opinions of anthropologists working in business and government. Also, we examined issues commonly encountered by social scientists working in an applied setting, and ways those issues can be resolved.
