What sort of intent is required for moral acts?
This has oft been the subject of debate amongst philosophers whether intent is the essence of a moral action. It appears you have taken the side of those that thing it does, so in that case, the words of Kant might offer some assistance. The intent of an action must be based on a maxim of action. The maxim of action can be a derivative of any of the five categorical imperatives. Most notable and easily accessible are the universalization and intrinsic value principles. The latter states that an action is moral acceptable if everyone could commit it. The former states that an action is moral if it treats people as an ends in themselves, rather than a means.
What is categorical imperative?
The categorical imperative is essentially a law or command that everyone is affected by. It is a moral hypothetical that allows a person to distinguish what is "moral". For example, the classic example of a categorical imperative is if there is a law that "Everyone can murder one another." This is a moral hypothetical that we can tell is immoral because of how murdering one another leads to a very dangerous society. If everyone could murder each other, nobody would be alive in this hypothetical, causing the end of society. As we want society to continue and prosper, this categorical imperative allows us to support the idea that murder is immoral.

Who said that if you can't universalize your action then it is not moral?
Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher, argued that for an action to be moral, it must be universalizable. In other words, if everyone in a similar situation could act in the same way without contradiction, then the action is considered morally permissible. This concept is central to Kant's deontological ethical theory known as the categorical imperative.

Why does Kant maintain that ethics must be purly on reason?
Not really he maintains all MORAL decisions can be judged accroding to his Categorical Imperative that you should, given a choice between two actions, do the one that woukd be applicable universally and that woukd be if not the ethical, then surely the 'right' thing to do
Do unethical decisions sometimes have to be made?
Immanuel Kant says no. He gives two 'Categorical Imperatives' that must be followed under all conditions. These are: 1. Perform every act as though it would become a universal law that all sentience would act according to. And 2. Treat all humanity whether in your own person or that of another, always as an end and never as a means only. He allows for no exceptions. He says: if the police come to your door and demand you give up your family, you may fight or run but you may not lie because no person would be willing to live in a world where people lied whenever they wished. He also shows us that no person would choose to be treated as a means to an end, with no consideration of their special status as an independent person with inalienable personal rights and importance. By the way, he also said that objective determination of right and wrong is impossible for a subjective being. He said it is the will to do the right thing that makes a person ethical. He felt that the two categorical Imperatives stemmed from the will to do the right thing. Kant believed he proved the existence of God because we all have a moral will to maintain our right conduct. It is the Moral Will that is universal and that universal nature infers a common source and a God creator of that common universal nature. The nature of ethical decisions and acts must be explored further in order to understand the full implications of Kant's theses. Kant is a good source for these questions.
How business ethics and business law interact with one another?
Ethics is about what we should or should not do, what is moral or "right." Law tells us what we must or must not do, what is legal. A legal choice is not always a moral choice, and a moral choice may even be an illegal one. So, business law is influenced by business ethics, but the two are often at odds.
