For organisations and management the role of business ethics is of
key importance, but to what extent business ethics are actually new
or fashionable or universally applicable are interesting questions.
Asia has been the site of contests between competing economic and
ethical views of how economic norms and institutions are organized.
This book examines the evolutionary similarities and differences of
institutionalizing business ethics in Asia in a historical context
and in comparison to better-explored business ethics literature,
both empirically and theoretically. This collection uses both
historical and contemporary cases in Japan, Korea and China to show
that these countries have tried to balance their traditional
business ethics norms and values with those that have been
introduced from the West. Underpinning the case studies is the fact
that these countries have historically pursued ethical mandates in
running private corporations, although corruptive practices were
also rampant during different historical periods. The contributions
to the book analyse how the theories and models of New
Institutionalism and Modes of Exchange fare in their attempts to
explain Asian business ethics. As the results indicate, historical
methods must accompany any analysis of business ethics. This book
was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific
Business Review.
