Answers will vary. Common examples may include the following.
Tone at the top means management's commitment to ethical behavior. It is a key component because, if employees are to act ethically, managers must not only "talk the talk", but "walk the walk". Employees who witness managers engaging in unethical behavior will assume that while the company may have a corporate code of ethics, it does not really matter.
