A survey of 513 management students carried out in the US, Mexico, Korea and China has found national and ethnic differences in terms of how ethical issues are viewed. There are marked differences between Hispanics and Asians, and less marked differences between Caucasians and Asians. Mexican and US Hispanics tend to be similar, though there are differences between Asians and Asian-Americans. Ethical reasoning also varies according to gender in the subjects studied as a whole, but not within the different countries studied.
