Developing a Multicultural Organizational Code of Ethics Rooted in the Moral Obligations of Citizenry

Abstract

The increasing globalization of business and boundary-spanning government alliances has created a clash of values that can prevent effective working relationships. Given that each country wants to be considered an equal partner, this clash can strike at the core of effective communication. Various solutions posed to date have been unable to resolve this impediment. This treatise suggests a framework for establishing a shared set of values across cultures by focusing not on the ethics of business, but instead on the ethics of citizenship. A set of socio-ethical tenets is proposed as the basis for developing organizational ethics across cultures. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012
