Through the personal stories of managers running global business,
this book takes an inside look into the dilemmas of managers who
are asked to make profits ethically according to the dictates of
their company's ethics code. It examines what companies think" they
are doing to help managers in those situations and how those
managers are actually affected.
Thanks to the boost from the 1991 Sentencing Guidelines which
minimizes penalties for companies with ethics codes caught in
ethical wrongdoing, more than 85% of US companies and two thirds of
all Canadian companies and half of all European companies now have
Codes of Ethics. Yet, over and over, we hear of stories of personal
dilemmas and conflicts experienced by individual managers
navigating those business waters in other cultures.

markets."

to conscientious managers who want to navigate cross-cultural
commerce with integrity. It has done a superb job of creatingorder

insisting that the complexity must be honored and appropriated
rather than ignored or suppressed."
