Alternative strategies on global business ethic, critiques and evaluations

The increasing economic, political and social relationship taking place in the world along with business activities has resulted in cross-cultural interactions. The ethic problems resulted from the operations of companies worldwide negatively affect the company activities. Not to be able to tackle and manage the ethical problems both harms the companies and lowers companies’ values in the eye of public. The countries that have different ethical values and norms cause companies to experience various problems. There are several strategies to overcome these ethical problems. One of the strategies to overcome such problems is to create global ethical principles and implement them. This study concentrates on global business ethic and investigates whether there is a global business ethic and explains the strategies to achieve global business ethic and evaluate them. The study also considers the critiques directed toward the global business ethic.
