The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are cross-cultural differences between Chinese and Canadian business
students with respect to their assessment of the ethicality of various business behaviors. Using a sample of 147 business
students, the results indicate cultural crossvergence; the Chinese (72 students) and Canadians (75 students) exhibit different
ethical attitudes toward questionable business practices at the individual level but not at the corporate level. A social
desirability bias (a tendency to deny socially unacceptable actions and to admit to socially desirable ones) is also found
to be a cross-cultural phenomenon, with the Canadians demonstrating a greater bias than the Chinese. Finally, this bias causes
respondents to increase their assessment of the un-ethicality of questionable business activities.

The processes of economic integration induced by globalization have brought about a certain type of legal practice that challenges
the core values of legal ethics. Law firms seeking to represent the interests of internationally active corporate clients
must embrace and systematically apply concepts of strategic management and planning and install corporate business structures
to sustain competition for lucrative clients. These measures bear a high conflict potential with the core values of legal
ethics. However, we observe in parallel a global consolidation of these core values through an enhanced cooperation of national
professional bodies, the use of international codes, and comparative legal ethics teaching and research. Furthermore, state
regulation of the legal profession is concerned with preserving the core values of legal ethics to conserve the lawyer’s role
in upholding the rule of law. This article defends that legal ethics is adapting to the pressures exerted by “managerial”
approaches to legal practice without this altering core values that underlie legal ethics.

The research reported in this article develops a model for assessing the cost of banking services faced by small businesses.
The lack of price competition in the provision of small business banking services combined with limited transparency concerning
actual fee levels prevents small businesses from readily estimating likely fee levels. Prior research and government reports
note the difficulties faced by small business in relation to banking services and this research contributes to an understanding
of the potential dead weight losses incurred resulting from poor signalling and information asymmetry and potentially a deficient
public policy framework.

The prevalence of white-collar crime casts a long shadow over discussions in business ethics. One of the effects that has
been the development of a strong emphasis upon questions of moral motivation within the field. Often in business ethics, there
is no real dispute about the content of our moral obligations, the question is rather how to motivate people to respect them.
This is a question that has been studied quite extensively by criminologists as well, yet their research has had little impact
on the reflections of business ethicists. In this article, I attempt to show how a criminological perspective can help to
illuminate some traditional questions in business ethics. I begin by explaining why criminologists reject three of the most
popular folk theories of criminal motivation. I go on to discuss a more satisfactory theory, involving the so-called “techniques
of neutralization,” and its implications for business ethics.

The effect of new business formation on regional development over time: the case of Germany 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
We investigate the effects of new business formation on employment change in German regions. A special focus is on the lag-structure
of this effect and on differences between regions. The different phases of the effects of new business formation on regional
development are relatively pronounced in agglomerations as well as in regions with a high-level of labor productivity. In
low-productivity regions, the overall employment effect of new business formation activity might be negative. The interregional
differences indicate that regional factors play an important role.

In this paper, we explore the impact of individualism and collectivism on three basic aspects of ethical decision making –
the perception of moral problems, moral reasoning, and behavior. We argue that the inclusion of business practices within
the moral domain by the individual depends partly upon individualism and collectivism. We also propose a pluralistic approach
to post-conventional moral judgment that includes developmental paths appropriate for individualist and collectivist cultures.
Finally, we argue that the link between moral judgment and behavior is related to individualism and collectivism.

This paper identifies that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a negative effect on software piracy rates in
addition to consolidating prior research that economic development and the cultural dimension of individualism also negatively
affect piracy rates. Using data for 59 countries from 2000 to 2005, the findings show that economic well-being, individualism
and technology development as measured by ICT expenditures explain between 70% and 82% of the variation in software piracy
rates during this period. The research results provide important implications for policy makers and business practitioners
to help reduce software piracy.

This paper gives an overview of the empirical research on the effects of new business formation on regional development and
introduces the contributions to this special issue. The effects of new businesses on regional development emerge over a longer
time-period of up to ten years. A main focus of the contributions to this special issue is on the distribution of these effects
over time and on the magnitude of the overall effect. While the basic pattern found for the different countries and regions
is quite similar, the magnitude of the overall effect can be different and may even be negative. There are strong indications,
that the type of entrants plays an important role in this respect.

College cheating represents a major ethical problem facing students and educators, especially in colleges of business. The
current study surveys 666 business students in three universities to examine potential determinants of cheating perceptions.
Anti-intellectualism refers to a student’s negative view of the value and importance of intellectual pursuits and critical
thinking. Academic self-efficacy refers to a student’s belief in one’s ability to accomplish an academic task. As hypothesized,
students high in anti-intellectualism attitudes and those with low academic self-efficacy were least likely to perceive college
cheating as unethical. Considering that college cheating has been found as a predictor of workplace cheating, the results
urge business instructors to reduce anti-intellectualism among students and to encourage them to put forth their best efforts.
The results also serve employers by focusing attention on these two psychological variables during the hiring and promotion
processes.

This paper discusses the nature of financial business relationships by drawing on the IMP Group’s theory of industrial relationships.
It discusses, among other aspects, the interaction process between banks and their corporate clients, the longevity of relationships,
the interdependence between both sides, and the atmosphere of financial services relationships. The conclusions are thought
to be interesting and useful for the managers of firms and financial services when setting relationship marketing policies
and for academic research on business-to-business services relationships. The field research was done in Portugal and the
case method was used.

In twentieth century Europe and the USA, industrial relations, labour, and workers’ rights issues have been handled through
collective bargaining and industrial agreements between firms and unions, with varying degrees of government intervention
from country to country. This industrial relations landscape is currently undergoing fundamental change with the emergence
of transnational industrial relations systems that complement existing national industrial relations systems. Despite the significance of this ongoing change, existing research has only started to explore
the implications of this change for how workers’ rights are governed around the globe. This paper addresses this gap by outlining
an agenda for future research into the transnational governance of workers’ rights. Fulfilling such a research agenda would
be both challenging, as it requires combining the so far divergent industrial relations and business ethics research streams,
and rewarding, as it provides ample scope for promising future research.

IT/business alignment is one of the main topics of information systems research. If IT artifacts and business-related artifacts
are coupled point-to-point, however, complex architectures become unmanageable over time. In computer science, concepts like
the ANSI/SPARC three-level database architecture propose an architecture layer which decouples external views on data and
the implementation view of data. In this paper, a similar approach for IT/business alignment is proposed. The proposed alignment
architecture is populated by enterprise services as elementary artifacts. Enterprise services link software components and
process activities. They are aggregated into applications and subsequently into domains for planning/design and communication
purposes. Most design approaches for the construction of enterprise services, applications and domains are top-down, i. e.
they decompose complex artifacts on a stepwise basis. As an alternative which takes into account coupling semantics, we propose
a bottom-up approach which is demonstrated for the identification of domains. Our approach is evaluated using a telecommunications
equipment case study.

Much of the theoretical work on industry dynamics focuses on the role of ‘noisy’ selection and incomplete information on firm
entry and survival. We extend this research by looking at the impact of firm heterogeneity on employment effects for 320 U.S.
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). We find that only start-ups with greater than 20 and less than 500 employees have persistent
employment effects over time and only in large diversified metropolitan regions. Therefore, both the type of entry (Gazelles)
and the characteristics of the region are important for employment growth.

A theoretical grounding and test of the GEM model 总被引:1,自引:5,他引:1
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor model combines insights on the allocation of effort into entrepreneurship at the national
(adult working-age population) level with literature in the Austrian tradition. The model suggests that the relationship between
national-level new business activity and the institutional environment, or Entrepreneurial Framework Conditions, is mediated
by opportunity perception and the perception of start-up skills in the population. We provide a theory-grounded examination
of this model and test the effect of one EFC, education and training for entrepreneurship, on the allocation of effort into
new business activity. We find that in high-income countries, opportunity perception mediates fully the relationship between
the level of post-secondary entrepreneurship education and training in a country and its rate of new business activity, including
high-growth expectation new business activity. The mediating effect of skills perception is weaker. This result accords with
the Kirznerian concept of alertness to opportunity stimulating action.

As a phenomenon of modified value-chain structures the economic importance of business-to-business markets has been growing
immensely during the past decades. This paper delivers a quantified overview of the market dimensions in terms of transactional
volume. In addition, it explains the causes for this market development such as an increased service orientation in business
transactions, higher degrees of customization, and influential factors on a macro level. In this context, future trends in
this sector will be outlined as well.

This paper explores the effects of new business formation on employment growth in Spanish manufacturing industries. New firms
are believed to make an important contribution to economic growth but the extent of this contribution is unclear. We consider
time lags of new firm formation as explanatory variables of employment change and identify how long the effect of new firm
entries on employment lasts. Our main results show that the effects of new business formation are positive in the short term,
negative in the medium term and positive in the long term, thus confirming the existence of indirect supply-side effects found
in similar studies for other countries.

Business students are confronted early in their academic careers with examples of questionable acts and practices related
to individual and corporate integrity. The current study identifies four segments of students with respect to their attitudes
toward unethical behavior and is one of the first known attempts to understand country corruption and its impact on students
of business. Findings from a worldwide survey of over 6,000 business students suggest that corruption does breed corruption
and that business students in more corrupt countries have a greater likelihood than their counterparts in less corrupt countries
to equate legal and ethical. It appears that business students in more corrupt countries expect to use the law as their ethical
gauge in business decisions.

This paper shows that the Name-Your-Own-Price (NYOP) business model can help soften competition. When consumers differ in
their frictional costs (i.e., the shopping hassle) they experience when bidding at an NYOP retailer, the NYOP format can be
a mechanism for differentiating a retailer from a posted-price rival. Beyond providing a motivation for using an NYOP mechanism,
competition also has important implications for the optimal structure of the NYOP format. For example, this paper shows that
prohibiting rebidding may benefit an NYOP firm by reducing price rivalry.

The job of a leader includes caring for others, or taking responsibility for them. All leaders face the challenge of how to
be both ethical and effective in their work. This paper focuses on the requirement that leaders be present to care for their
followers in times of crisis. It examines the story of Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns. This is a tale that has been
repeated in various forms by ancient historians and modern writers. The fact that the story gets repeated through the ages
tells us about the kind of care that people expect from their leaders.
