Essay / Business Ethics and the Chinese Market - 2924
I believe that standard business ethics cannot be possible on an international scale. Culture varies from society to society. Culture change varies for various reasons and depends on economic and legal factors. Political and legal factors play an essential role and differentiate from one culture to another. This is why I believe that business ethics can never be universal. Take the example of China, where the government has controlled information online. Google is very concerned about the Chinese market because many web pages have been blocked in this region. Culture also has a great influence in emerging economies, as it can be observed that in many countries, giving expensive gifts in business is considered a bribe, especially in the United States or Canada , while in some countries this is ethically acceptable. Here share expensive gifts even to a politician. in power is illegal, but companies provide them as bribes, otherwise they will not receive any favors from the government. For business to run smoothly, it is important that there are no obstacles for that company to benefit from this option of offering bribes to high-ranking officials, even if the foreign company does not hesitate to follow this same practice. Chinese is supposed to be a big market, which helps generate revenue. It is for this reason that Google had to change its ethics rules for China and must follow its rules, and the Chinese government has not lost them either. The role of cooperation is to establish a profit relationship that creates support for their investors. The company's rules and laws follow the sets established by the national government of the country where it operates, but they do not primarily play a role in changing the ethics of the medium of paper. .....ucious%20connection%20120505%20science%20direct.pdf).Cox, T. and Blake, C.
