Ethical behaviour in the South African organizational context: essential and workable
Article Abstract:
The absence of established ethical standards for business practice has made South African companies more vulnerable to corruption, bribery and other commercial crimes. Thus, companies must assume greater responsibility for ethical practices in order to secure greater foreign funding by minimizing or totally eliminating fraud and commercial crime. Business malpractice and corruption can also be reduced by establishing stricter government regulation and imposing sanctions for unethical conduct.

Codes of ethics in Hong Kong: their adoption and impact in the run up to the 1997 transition of sovereignty to China
Article Abstract:
A number of companies and trade associations in Hong Kong responded to the government campaign managed by the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) in 1994, by adopting written codes of ethics. The move is also an attempt to prevent corrupt practices which could possibly occur during the government transition in China. ICAC's initiative was successfully carried out through a series of public broadcasting programmes and community education.
