Business Ethics and Corporate Governance in North America

Lori Verstegen Ryan

Chapter Chapter 13 in Global Perspectives on Ethics of Corporate Governance, 2006, pp 187-220 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract At first glance, the three North American countries’ geographic proximity suggests a similarity that proves to be illusory. Even those observers who assume that Latino Mexico differs from its northern, Anglo neighbors may be tempted to presume that the United States and Canada must surely shadow one another. However, dissimilarities prevail even in the realm of corporate ownership and corporate governance. Along some dimensions, the United States and Canada do share characteristics apart from Mexico, but in other cases, Canada and Mexico align, with the United States as the contrast country, and in still others Mexico and the United States differ from Canada.
