Opis

What difference can international businesses make to today's world? This book addresses this urgent concern. It considers ways of arriving at common ethical positions while still respecting local traditions, the growth of morally responsible business practices in globally diverse contexts, the transfer of technologies and the reduction of poverty.

Recenzje

'...the book is fitting for both academics and practitioners...provides much needed theoretical as well as practical guidance in responding to this unique challenge of gloabization.' - Min-Dong Paul Lee, Administrative Science Quarterly
