Business Ethics: Japan and the Global Economy presents a
multicultural perspective of global business ethics with special
emphasis on Japanese viewpoints. In contrast to the typical
business ethics book written primarily from the viewpoint of
Western culture and economy, the majority of the work is by Asian
scholars, providing an historical overview of the religious,
scientific and cultural phenomena which converged to create modern
Japanese business ethics. Perspectives from socioeconomics,
sociology, social contract and applied business ethics contribute
to the analysis of moral issues. A new Japanese approach to moral
science, Moralogy, is introduced and its implications for phenomena
such as the Keiretsu system are explored. Concurrently, prominent
Western ethicists explore the role of moral language and the
implications of Kantian ethics and contractarian approaches for
developing universal moral standards. Because Japan is an economic
superpower, it is critical to understand the hidden economic
culture, work ethic, and way of thinking in business. We must
realize these are the results of an integration of historical
factors, such as Shintoism, Buddhism, Confuctianism and modern
Western science and technology. Business Ethics: Japan and the
Global Economy provides philosophical and anthropological analyses
of the Japanese economic mind, departing from previous stereotyped
approaches. Theoretical discussions based upon social contract
theory are presented in order to build ethical norms with
cross-cultural activity for multinational economic activities. From
such a universal stance, practical proposals are presented to
transnationalize the Keiretsu system and other Japanese economic
institutions.
