Abstract:
Worldwide rapid changes are occurring in the economic arena with various multinational corporations (MNCs) attempting to recruit fresh graduates from various countries. India is considered to be one of the potential markets for these recruiters. As employees, these fresh graduates bring an Indian ethical business perspective to the day-to-day business operations of the organisations they work for. Thus, it is imperative for multinational managers to know whether business success in India comes at an ethical cost. This paper focuses on understanding perspective of business management students (would-be managers) towards ethical dilemmas using 12 vignettes. We have examined responses of 201 business management students and found that students appeared to be readily compromise on situations dealing with professional advantage. The study indicates that future managers' associations of business and ethics is altering, thus, it is pertinent to examine its magnitude and new ethical equilibrium.
