ETHICAL DIMENTIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

Dan Craciun

Proceedings of the INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, 2015, vol. 9, issue 1, 767-779

Abstract: The first part of this paper analyzes two opposite perspectives on globalization, both of them elaborated on ideological grounds: Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz is representative for the social groups who are skeptical about the positive results of globalization; the prominent columnist Thomas Friedman, on the contrary, is an enthusiastic advocate of the positive effects of globalization. I try to emphasize four errors committed by these ideological approaches. The second part tries to define globalization from a neutral, theoretical point of view, starting from the conceptual frame proposed by Jan Aart Scholte, which I try to develop in certain points. The final part sketches and defends a few ethical principles to be recognized and applied by the multinational corporations in their business operations at global scale.
