There are no common unethical practices. To claim that there are implies that all are unethical.
When one does something that gives one an advantage, it is not necessarily unethical. Buying a product from someone other than me, or hiring someone other than me, when I want to sell my thing, or do my thing for you is not inherently unethical. Treating all people equally regardless of which side of a border they were born on or live on is not inherently unethical even if it does give me a business advantage.
Giving a friend a job for which someone else is better qualified is not an ethical problem if I am owner of the company, even if I know that my friend is well qualified.

Using business money to fund personal holidays
Saying you can when you cannot
Taking money under false pretenses
Selling inferior or coped products as the real thing
Child labour
Prolonged working hours for the low paid
Fire doors locked
