Ethical decision making in multinational organizations: a culture-based model
Article Abstract:
The relationship between national culture and ethical decision making was analyzed. In the process of the study, a culture-based model of ethical decision making in organizations was derived from established theories of ethics and moral development. The integration of cultural values into ethical decision making was part of the creation of the model. An evaluation of the model found that its focus on the cultural dimension of individualism/collectivism and one established theory of ethical decision making offers further opportunities for conceptual research.
