Increased understanding in international business grows both from an
awareness of cultural differences as well as from an appreciation of
underlying shared values across cultures. This volume focuses on the
latter. It assembles the best thinking of scholars from around the world
in an attempt to clarify and deepen our understanding of these ethical
universals. Scholars from Germany, England, Canada, Japan, China, and
the United States have contributed to this volume. They also represent
diverse disciplines: economics, philosophy, business ethics, history,
religion, education, and political theory. Nevertheless, they unite in
their conviction that the most important values and principles in
international business do no vary with geography.
