The relevance of the research topic lies in the authors' appeal to the problems of scientific ethics in the field of entrepreneurship, which remains a little-studied area of knowledge in modern conditions of economic development in Russia. The purpose of the presented work is to study the relationship between the ethics of science and the formal implementation of entrepreneurship, which involves solving a number of tasks, namely: determining the degree of implementation of the postulates of scientific ethics in the minds of entrepreneurs and, based on the results obtained, tracking changes taking place in the business practice of entrepreneurial communities. This is precisely the scientific and practical significance of this work: based on the theoretical approaches outlined in the works of the classics of sociology – Max Weber, Robert Merton, the researchers show the relationship of scientific ethics with politics, economics, religion – that is, those areas of social life where business, entrepreneurial activity takes place. The main results and conclusions of the research work reflected in the article follow from the results of a sociological study conducted among students of two neighboring republics – Tatarstan and Mari El. The value of the conducted research lies in identifying the positive impact of scientific ethics on the development of entrepreneurship and determining the degree of penetration of the ethics of science into the consciousness of entrepreneurs. The novelty of the undertaken research lies in the very formulation of the question: to what extent the ethics of science has penetrated into the consciousness of entrepreneurs of the two republics and addressing this issue to the advanced part of the youth – students, who will soon give not only theoretical reflections on this matter, but also actually implements the entrepreneurial skills acquired within the walls of the university.
