| Summary: | Currently, the issue of ethics has gained increasing prominence in management
studies. It has received much attention among academics and practitioners.
Ethics, which is seen as a theoretical luxury indulged by firms in the Western
countries are now given greater attention by business leaders in Asia (McGrath,
1993). In Malaysia, the issue of ethics has gained the attention of public policy
decision-makers and top managers in large organisations. The increasing
number of incidences in 'white collar crimes' has also resulted in the Prime
Minister directing the local universities to conduct appropriate courses in
business ethics. In fact, one of the key aspirations of the Malaysian Vision 2020
is to ensure the prevalence of high moral values among the populace. |
