Management and Ethics

The extent and popularity of college foreign exchange programs show the “globalness” of the future. As students travel and study in a foreign culture, they are faced with the difference in values that are held by the culture in which they were reared and the one the student is currently living in and studying. One of the greatest noticeable differences between American cultural values and those of other cultures is regarding business ethics. No other institutions have permeated multiple cultures more than the multinational corporations like IBM, Microsoft, Nestle, BASF, etc. With this permeation, managers from many different cultures are relocated to new and alien cultures. More and more decisions made by future global managers will need to be assessed in terms of an understanding of the multiple cultures the decisions will affect. Future global managers can only do this by knowing how different cultural business ethics are derived, tested, and used. This course has as its purpose the introductory exploration of business ethics in a cross-cultural setting. This can no better be achieved than in a foreign culture where the students can immediately receive information from their surroundings and managers who have had to face the difficult decisions in the past.
