The swift advancement of science and technology propels social and economic development tremendously, which has become one of the main features of our age. Since the late half of the 20th century, scholars, governments as well as public circles have been actually attracted by the unexpected consequences of sci-tech social application, especially by the breakthrough of ethical issues research in science and technology (EST) . So people put efforts to reflect ethically in various perspectives, such as the nature of science and technology, nature and ecological environment, sci-tech advancement and the harmonious development of human beings & society, in which great success have been achieved. However, ethical issues in science and technology are, in the final analysis, the matter of relations among human beings, and the double harmonious outcome of human, nature and human society. The reasons for ethical issues in science and technology are not only in science and technology itself or in the reflection on sci-tech values, but also in management of science and technology (MST) based on the values.MST, being the theory, method and practice helping people take advantage of science and technology rationally, quickens sci-tech development. Especially since science and technology was made systematic and organizational nationally, sci-tech activities have been planned, organized and controlled effectively, causing science and technology to acquire higher social position than ever and become the core of national competitive power. Because of the dual social effect of sci-tech activities and those disastrous consequences like ecological destruction, environmental crisis, resource exhaustion, frequent wars and the gap between the poor and the rich etc, we should inspect not only activities of science and technology ethically, but also MST behavior. Through adjusting the objectives of MST, we will improve the harmony among human beings, and further improve the harmony of human nature, and start a overlapping research field combining MST with EST.Management ethics (ME) is new area of research dealing with moral issues in management activities and becomes a popular area of overlapping research on management and enterprise ethic at home and abroad. Management ethics involes in ethical problems in enterprise management practices, the foundation of combining enterprise management with enterprise ethics, the ethical relations and ethical adjustment in enterprise management, and the ethical concern in enterprise culture along with the moral quality of enterprise subjects. In spite of the different characteristics between enterprise management and MST, the rich outcome of enterprise management study is significant for reference to the research on management ethic of science and technology (MEST).This research aims to combine MST with EST and put up theoretical platform for the overlapping research on MEST, and to put forward proposals to improve the practice of MEST through exploring the law of MEST. In view of the intersection and comprehension in the research, this paper applies these methods like logic analysis, historic analysis, systematic analysis, case analysis and positive analysis. The six research stages are as follows: Firstly, it points out the realistic necessity of MEST by inspecting the ethical and...
