| Tiivistelmä: | This paper presents a comparative analysis of attitudes btw. Russian and U.S. undergraduate students on ethical issues in managing Russian small firms engaged in business transactions with U.S. firms. Based on the real life situations, Russian and American respondents were asked to select decision alternatives dealing with ethical dilemmas. Significant differences were found btw. the two groups. Russians do not recognize significant differences btw. various alternatives, in spite of the disparity in the severity of these alternatives for resolving business problems. Compared to Americans, Russians tend to prefer more forceful decision alternatives resorting to business practices that would be considered unethical in the U.S. This is attributable to differences in the countriesÂ’ history, political, legal, and cultural environment. The transitional nature of the Russian economy affects decision-making and business ethics. |
