  • Ang, Swee Hoon

Abstract

This study compared beliefs in money, business ethics and social responsibility, and guanxi; and Machiavellian personality among youths in two Asian economies--Hong Kong and Singapore--and two Western economies--Canada and Hawaii. It found interesting variations across economies. The factors that influence how much one believes in the power of money also varied.
