“…Surveys conducted in numerous countries with business practitioners, consumers, and (especially) business students as survey participants indicate that Americans possess higher business ethics standards than non-Americans, regardless of the survey methodology employed or the ethics variables studied (e.g., Allmon et al, 1997;Grimes, 2004;Whipple and Swords, 1992;White and Rhodeback, 1992). Simultaneously, though, other surveys have found no differences in ethics attitudes between Americans and non-Americans (e.g., Davis et al, 1998;Grunbaum, 1997;Stevenson and Bodkin, 1998).…”

“…Empirical studies generally support the idea that different cultures interpret, often persistently, the same ethical issues in different ways (Ford et al, 2005;Goodwin and Goodwin, 1999;Rashid and Ibrahim, 2008;Sarwono and Armstrong, 2001;White and Rhodeback, 1992).

In this study, we aim to investigate how multinational corporations (MNCs) balance ethical pressures from both the home and host countries. Drawing on theories from institutional theory, international business, and business ethics, we build a theoretical framework to explain the ethical behavior of MNCs. We apply the institutional logic concept to examine how MNCs with established logics and principles that have grown in the home country respond to local ethical expectations in the host country. We differentiate the core values from the peripheral components of a MNC's institutional logic and propose that a MNC will pursue distinctive ethical strategies under different scenarios and choose the ''right'' configuration of core values and peripheral components that align with institutional environment in host countries.

“…These differences have been noted in cross-cultural studies of business ethics (which have usually used the business manager as the common unit of analysis). These studies have found signi cant differences in ethical perception between Western and Asian managers (Hofstede, 1980;Mehta and Kau, 1984;Dubinsky et al, 1991;White and Rhodeback, 1992).…”

There has been pressure from various business and professional accounting bodies to place greater emphasis on ethics education. This has been reflected in academic research and curriculum development. The purpose of this paper is to expand the debate on accounting ethics education to take into account the globalization of business, accounting and educational services and to draw attention to the importance of cross-cultural factors. To illustrate this the paper discusses the impact that Confucius has had on the ethical thinking of East and South East Asia. Where appropriate, comparisons are made with Western attitudes and secular philosophies. This focus has been chosen because of the current and future importance of the Asian area to global commerce, and the fact that an understanding of its ethical thinking and behaviour is not possible without an appreciation of Confucian thought.Accounting Ethics Education Cross-CULTURAL Confucius Asia,
