In the modern era of globalization Multi-National Corporations
(MNCs) have expanded their operational reach to the far corners of
the world to a degree and scope never before encountered. Their
activities across the global supply chain, both vertically and
horizontally, touch numerous societies. Their influential impact is
larger than ever before and is growing. One of the key issues
facing MNC senior executives at the home office, and trickling down
to embedded managers abroad, is moral decision making via the
construction of a code of ethics that can universally be
applied.Ethics is a compendium of moral interpretations steeped in
a multitude of religious and philosophical applications. It is
subject to various cultural intrusions as well as independent
personal interpretation. The study of international business and
all related managerial disciplines usually includes ethical
content. The majority of global management textbooks offer a
chapter on ethics, and its often misaligned cousin, social
responsibility. They tend to cover the subject matter by stating
the problem and then reciting laws enacted to combat social
injustice as well as including philosophical theories intended to
provide generic direction. This iceberg approach, a topical view of
the issues, leaves the average MBA student along with executive
cadre longing for more specific guidelines.This book is intended to
provide templates for ethical decision making within a globalized
commercial arena. It presents more detailed direction on how to
arrive at universal standards with the construction of patterns of
application. It aims to provide more exacting models of resolution
for the building of corporate codes of conduct while offering
guidance for foreign managers in everyday ethical matters.
