Attitudes towards business ethics held by western Australian students: a comparative study
Article Abstract:
The results of a survey of Western Australian business students regarding attitudes towards business ethics was presented. The results of the Australian study were compared with those of similar groups in the US and Israel. Ten statistically significant differences were noted between Australian and US students, but their actual differences were not meaningful. Nineteen variables were found to be statistically significant between Israeli and Australian sytudents, but again, the actual differences were not meaningful. On the whole, the results showed the similarity of attitudes to business ethics among students in the Western world.

The ethics of downsizing: perceptions of rights and responsibilities
Article Abstract:
Comparisons of employees' and managers' perceptions of the ethicality of downsizing was made. The analysis was conducted in terms of the three ethical dimensions of downsizing: content, method and timing. Findings revealed that different perceptions about the ethics of downsizing were held by groups affected by downsizing decisions. On the other hand, groups that participated actively in downsizing decisions in terms of formulation and implementation were found to hold little differences in their perceptions about the ethics of downsizing.

Western managers working in Romania: perception and attitude regarding business ethics
Article Abstract:
A survey conducted on 50 managers from the West stationed in Romania reveals a divergent view of business ethics, especially in the field of bribery. The results, which have been attributed to varying cultural backgrounds, suggest that Western managers conditioned to bribery in their home countries are susceptible to adapting their Romanian counterparts' practices. This potentially devastating consequence further illustrates the importance of a sustained business ethics campaign.
