Norwegian term (edited):
ved uforsvarlig forretningsf�rsel
improper business practices
"uforsvarlig" does not specifically tell you what was wrong with the business practices; it leaves it rather vague. If you do a Google search on various possible English phrases you get the following numbers of hits:
Unethical business practices 63,000 hits
Improper business practices 28,500 hits
Irresponsible business practices 538 hits
Reckless business practices 281 hits
Based on that, I would argue that "unethical" is the most commonly used term in English--so Becky's answer is great. If you want a term that is more vague (since the Norwegian does not specify that the practices were *unethical* per se), "improper" would be a good choice.

: All of these phrases are vague but the point I had in mind is that the unetical b.p. would have to be judged to be of an agressiv nature. I feel reckless covers that angle.
