Ethics in Global Organizations

Ethics within any organization can truly be a complex issue because there are many factors that affect

organizational ethics, including industry, leadership, policies, laws, regulations, employees, and

overall culture. However, when you add in the idea of a company being global, ethics becomes a bit

more complex, because different cultures have different ideas of what is ethical and what is not.
