Convergence in international business ethics? A comparative study of ethical philosophies, thinking style, and ethical decision-making between US and Korean managers
This study investigates the relationship among ethical philosophy, thinking style, and managerial ethical decision-making. Based on the premise that business ethics is a function of culture and time, we attempt to explore two important questions as to whether the national differences in managerial ethical philosophies remain over time and whether the relationship between thinking style and ethical decision-making is consistent across different national contexts. We conducted a survey on Korean managers’ ethical decision-making and thinking style and made a cross-cultural, cross-temporal comparison with the results presented by previous studies that surveyed Korean and US managers with the same questionnaire at different points in time. Our analysis revealed that Korean managers have become more reliant on rule utilitarianism for ethical decision-making over the last two decades, which is dominantly used by US managers, corroborating our convergence hypothesis built on social contracts theory. However, as opposed to previous research, we found that managers with a balanced linear and nonlinear thinking style do not necessarily make more ethical decisions compared to those with a predominantly linear or nonlinear thinking style. This study contributes to international business ethics literature by presenting a theoretical framework that may explain the convergence of ethical philosophies employed by managers in different national contexts over time, and that the relationship between thinking style and managerial ethical decision-making may not be universal, but contingent on contextual factors

“Practical experience is really important”: Perceptions of Chinese International students about the benefits of work integrated learning in their Australian Tourism and hospitality degrees
Chinese students make up the majority (25%) of international students studying in Australia (Department of Education and Training, Monthly summary of international student data, January 2016. Retrieved from https://internationaleducation.gov.au/research/International-Student-Data/Pages/default.aspx, 2016). Chinese students choose to study in Australia for a number of important reasons, including the perception that Australian higher education is of high quality, and potential improved career opportunities. Understanding the perceptions of Chinese international students’ experiences of Work Integrated Learning (WIL) as part of their studies is crucial for two important reasons: to inform more meaningful experiences for current and future cohorts and to ensure Australian universities remain a higher education destination of choice for Chinese students. This chapter explores the experiences of Chinese international students studying tourism and hotel/hospitality management within business degree programmes in a Queensland university. The findings of the interview study demonstrate Chinese international students have clear expectations about the outcomes of the WIL component in their chosen degree, including the ability of such experiences to bridge theory and practice and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for employability in their home country. These perceptions align with the university’s own stance on the importance of WIL for domestic and international students, as evidenced in its employability framework and internationalisation strategy. The chapter also outlines recommendations for universities for improved practice
