How can ethical values translate internationally?
Simon Webley looks at how ethical business can be agreed cross-culturally.
There is one way ethics can be translated across all cultures, and that is the Golden Rule – treat others as you would wish to be treated.
The Golden Rule appears is most of the world’ religions and can be used as a common basis with which to do business. For example, if you are my supplier, I will treat you as I would wish to be treated and pay my bill within the agreed terms.
