| Abstract | As awareness of the need for ethical business behavior increases, businesspeople must address the issue of an ethical standard acceptable for use in international business or, in individual situations, which country's ethical standards will be respected. Ethical absolutes cannot be determined without cultural bias. Legalistic, religious, and situational frameworks all reflect existing prejudices and values. Legalistic ethics occur most commonly in low-context cultures that place great value on the written word. High-context cultures tend to favor a situational approach to ethics. Religious ethics are determined by the individual religion to which one adheres. In each of these cases, culture divides the ground for a universal ethical standard. In international business, the question arises: at what point should one reject the norms and values of one's own culture to accommodate those of another? The most practical approach to the international businessman is ethical relativity, a willingness to modify one's own ethical views to communicate effectively across cultures. However, ethical relativism in international business does not address the situation in which a society condemns people based on an immutable characteristic such as gender or race. Businesspeople should be encouraged to accept and work with cultural differences but adhere to individual ethics. (MSE) |
