  1. The Effect of National Corporate Responsibility Environment on Japanese Foreign Direct Investment.George Z. Peng & Paul W. Beamish - 2008 - Journal of Business Ethics 80 (4):677-695.
    We examine the relationship between Japanese foreign direct investment (FDI) and the national corporate responsibility (NCR) environment in host countries using corporate social responsibility and international business theories. Based on data from the Japanese Government’s Ministry of Finance AccountAbility, and other sources, we find that the level of NCR has a positive relationship with FDI inflow for developing countries. The relationship for developed countries is negative but not statistically significant. The underlying host country development stage moderates the relationship. The results (...)

  • International validation of the corruption perceptions index: Implications for business ethics and entrepreneurship education. [REVIEW]Paul G. Wilhelm - 2002 - Journal of Business Ethics 35 (3):177 - 189.
    International government and corporate corruption is increasingly under siege. Although various groups of researchers have quantified and documented world-wide corruption, apparently no one has validated the measures. This study finds a very strong significant correlation of three measures of corruption with each other, thereby indicating validity. One measure was of Black Market activity, another was of overabundance of regulation or unnecessary restriction of business activity. The third measure was an index based on interview perceptions of corruption (Corruption Perceptions Index or (...)

  • The effect of corruption on japanese foreign direct investment.Peter A. Voyer & Paul W. Beamish - 2004 - Journal of Business Ethics 50 (3):211-224.
    In an effort to reduce risk and uncertainty, we hypothesize that investors avoid countries where high corruption exists. We investigate this issue by examining the relationship of levels of perceived corruption on Japanese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in both industrialized and emerging economies. The analysis presented utilizes a sample of 29,546 investments in 59 countries. Results suggest that in emerging nations, where comprehensive legal and regulatory frameworks do not exist to effectively curtail fraudulent activity, corruption serves to reduce FDI. Managers (...)

  • (1 other version)Value, business and globalisation – sketching a critical conceptual framework.Asger Sørensen - 2002 - Journal of Business Ethics 39 (1-2):161 - 167.
    Value is a basic concept in economics, ethics and sociology. Locke made labour the source of value, whereas Smith referred to an ideal exchange and Kant specified that commodities only have a market price, no intrinsic value. One can distinguish two modern concepts of value, an economic one trying to explain value in terms of utility, interest or preferences, and an ideal one considering values as ends in themselves. On this basis, Durkheim constructed his theory of value, which was developed (...)
