Navigating Cross Cultural Ethics or The Governance of Corporate Groups

Navigating Cross-Cultural Ethics: What Global Managers Do Right to Keep From Going Wrong

Author: Eileen Morgan

Through the personal stories of managers running global business, this book takes an inside look into the dilemmas of managers who are asked to make profits ethically according to the dictates of their company's ethics code. It examines what companies "think" they are doing to help managers in those situations and how those managers are actually affected.
Thanks to the boost from the 1991 Sentencing Guidelines which minimizes penalties for companies with ethics codes caught in ethical wrongdoing, more than 85% of US companies and two thirds of all Canadian companies and half of all European companies now have Codes of Ethics. Yet, over and over, we hear of stories of personal dilemmas and conflicts experienced by individual managers navigating those business waters in other cultures.

· First in-depth look at how managers in global companies actually bridge the gap between their organizations and their daily decisions

· Explains the need for internal and external ethical operations¦and how organizations often create confusion rather than clarity with the label of "ethics"

The Governance of Corporate Groups

Author: Janet Din

This book explores the legal issues concerning groups of companies including regulation at national, international and global level. It offers a comparative discussion of the way in which issues common to the regulation of groups have been approached in the UK, in the European Union, in other member states of the union, in the United States and, where helpful, in other countries including the emergent economies of eastern European states. The author highlights the often tragic consequences of globalization by transnationals including polarization of income and environmental damage.
