Developing business ethics in China - International Conference on Developing Business Ethics in China

Twenty-seven international scholars and business leaders analyse the challenges facing business ethics in China: the role of different ethical traditions, the creation of ethical corporate cultures, corruption and the lack of confidence, consumption patterns and income distribution, globalization, WTO and information technology, to name a few.

George Enderle is Arthur and Mary O'Neil Professor of International Business Ethics at the Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame, USA.

'If you care at all about business in China, read this book. It smashes all of the tidy assumptions about ethics being entirely different or the same in the new China.'

- Thomas Donaldson, The Wharton School

"Throughout its long history, China has made a deep contribution to global ethics. In the period of global business development, ethical issues are centrally important. China has the potential to play a critical role in the search for an ethic for globally sustainable development. By bringing together essays from outstanding scholars in this field, this book provides an invaluable insight into the way in which China can contribute to this process."

- Peter Nolan, Professor, Judge Business School and Chair, Development Studies, University of Cambridge

'China's rapid movement to the center of the global economic stage has highlighted vivid differences between China and her trading partners regarding issues of ethics and governance. Such differences have the power to erode the trust necessary to support continued development of the global economy, with consequences hard to imagine. Lu and Enderle have put together a book that presents the central issues with timely illustrations and a dialogue between Chinese and foreign observers. This book clarifies the reasons behind the misunderstandings and adds valuable insights for understanding contemporary China.'

- Bill Fischer, Professor, IMD in Lausanne, Switzerland; and former President & Dean, The China-Europe International Business School in Shanghai
