    Ethical Issues in Global Business

    Navigating the boundaries between right and wrong can prove tricky for companies that operate in several nations and across cultures. Ethics is essential to economic development. The field of ethics, also called moral philosophy, involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior. Business ethics is the study and evaluation of decision making by businesses according to moral concepts and judgments. Ethical questions range from practical, narrowly defined issues, such as a company 's obligation to be honest with its customers, to broader social and philosophical questions, such as a company 's responsibility to preserve the environment and protect employee rights. Many ethical conflicts develop from conflicts between the differing interests of company owners and their workers, customers, and surrounding community.…

    Companies and governments can carry out different strategies to fight corruption and unethical activities. Education has an important role, it is essential to teach about corruption, to increase awareness of it in all of its ways and to train people from common employees to businesspeople with the tools to attack it. Corruption and bribery need to be prosecuted and whistleblowers need to be protected. Effective evaluation systems are required to know if commitments and goals are being met.

    Bribery – the Dilemma

    Everyday U.S. managers in developing countries face the dilemma of furthering their business concerns in countries such as India, China, Russia and Mexico where bribery is commonplace while at the same time trying to ensure that they do not violate their companies code of conduct or worse the government’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). It is a fine line they walk. This paper will help those managers by explaining what bribery is, why it is thought to be an issue, show recently where companies have bribed and been caught as well as offer suggestions that will enable the U.S. manager in Mexico to accomplish what bribery accomplishes but is not unethical or illegal or in violation of a company policy that prohibits bribery.…

    How Effective Are Anti-corruption Strategies in Developing Countries?

    Although corruption is not a new phenomenon, in recent years, corruption has become a major issue in developing countries; it is also widespread and part of everyday life. Not only that, corruption has become a serious obstacle in the development process of developing countries. Because of corruption good governance can be weakened, public policy can be misrepresented and it can also lead to misallocation of resources and harm the economic development (Bardhan, 1997; Rose-Ackerman, 1999, as cited in Siddiquee, 2009). Furthermore, Otusanya (2012) points out that “corruption has been a critical obstacle for social development in a number of countries because of the devastating effect the deprivation of funds has had on them”. In addition, many believe that most anti-corruption strategies in developing countries are failing and even with the anti-corruption strategies the corruption level remains high. Heeks and Mathisen (2012) believe that “anti-corruption is competitive: if successful it will create losers, and the corrupt tend to fight back” (p. 535). However, there are also a few countries known as successful examples in fighting corruption. This essay will show how effective is the anti-corruption strategies in developing countries by using Malaysia, Ghana, Hong Kong and Singapore as an examples.…

    Study of Ethical Issues in Adarsh Housing Society Scam

    The purpose of this report is to highlight unethical practices involved in one of the well-known scams in India - The Adarsh Housing Society Scam. This society is a cooperative society in Mumbai and the scam dates back to February 2002. At that time, a request was made to the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra for allotment of land in Colaba area of Mumbai for the construction of this housing society. Colaba is one of the most posh areas in Mumbai having Nariman Point in its vicinity. The welfare of serving and retired personnel of the Defence Services was the main motive behind the allotment. But over a period of 10 years, some bureaucrats, military officers and politicians went ahead to mould the rules in their favour, so as to get the flats allotted to them at much lowered prices. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India 2011 report to the President pointed out ‘The episode of Adarsh Co-operative Housing Society reveals how a group of select officials, placed in key posts, could subvert rules and regulations in order to grab prime government land- a public property- for personal benefit.’ The allegations against the three former Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, Sushil Kumar Shinde, the late Vilasrao Deshmukh and Ashok Chavan are still in process by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Income tax (IT) department and Enforcement Directorate (ED).…
