Summary:

On the assumption that multinational corporations will continue to supplant sovereign states in controlling the foundations of the world's economic activity, and so must be moral as well as economic agents, business researchers and practitioners explore ways to achieve an international harmonization of normative business conduct. Among their considerations are corruption, marketing, Levi Strauss, ethical thought in several major cultures and religions, and sustainable development. Some of the 20 papers are from a 1995 conference, probably held in Germany somewhere, and the rest were commissioned for the volume. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
