“…Vodonick (2016) argues that pragmatism (egoism) is the most appropriate approach in decision-making when faced with the ethical question of 'what is to be done. ' Vodonick (2017) further believes that pragmatism (egoism) is the only framework where the results of a decision might either conflict or harmonize with the manager's values. That pragmatism (egoism) justifies past or future actions in relationship to one's values in determining whether the actions are good or bad.…”

Mixed methods surveys using multilingual assistants in areas without clear pre-defined sampling units are often difficult to manage and unpredictable, thereby threatening data quality. More so when such surveys are executed in unfamiliar territories where cultural and language barriers prevent direct communication between the principal researcher and the respondents, and field assistants act as cultural/language brokers. This paper provides a method to enhance data quality in such contexts through a reflection on the research design and data collection experience in our study on flood damage mitigation processes among households and businesses in Kampala. Associated field challenges included different disciplinary and language skills levels of assistants, their multiple positionalities when translating concepts from the inquiry language to the source language and vice-versa, low settlement permeability/accessibility, multiple households per sampling unit, and socio-psychological issues among respondents and research assistants. The available literature lacks comprehensive systematic methods to address the challenges above, using detailed research fieldwork management experiences in which data collection is outsourced from field assistants. Our application of an extended version of the briefing and debriefing technique closes this gap. As a guide to apply this approach, we conceptualize social science research into four interrelated dimensionsparadigm, people, process, and presentation.

Ethics rest on philosophical groundings. This holds implications for international business as the philosophers selected as the basis of ethics are informed by culture. Business publications provide a source for exploring this phenomenon. Articles from the CNKI database were downloaded and analyzed in KNIME. An author-created ontology was used to identify business ethics articles. Corpus linguistic techniques established philosophical sediments. From a Marxian perspective Marx and Mao Zedong figured prominently, where Plato and Aristotle were frequent non-Marxian philosophers. A Mann-Whitney U test showed the median frequency of Marxian philosophers is significantly greater than Non-Marxists. Dyadic analysis revealed more frequent reference to socialism over capitalism. These results suggest the philosophical sediments of these articles rest primarily on Marxian philosophers and collectivist constructs. As nations increasingly use Artificial Intelligence, they will use different philosophical lenses engendering distinctive results culminating in dissimilar system-level outcomes.
