Abstract
Hong Kong has been the Asian financial hub and trading center for years. With its close proximity to mainland China, Hong Kong has successfully attracted numerous foreign direct investments that seek to acquire a share in the China market via operations in Hong Kong and develop connections with countries in the Asia-Pacific region. However, Hong Kong has been facing economic and political challenges in recent years. Restoring investors’ confidence appears to be a solution to these challenges. The authors believe that moral development and ethical business behavior are the keys to restore investors’ confidence. The Junzi model was adopted to review the current practice pertaining to the business ethics of senior executives of different industries in Hong Kong. This country report features their opinions on making a virtuous business decision.
期刊介绍:
The Asian Journal of Business Ethics (AJBE) publishes original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business in Asia, including East, Southeast and South-central Asia. Like its well-known sister publication Journal of Business Ethics, AJBE examines the moral dimensions of production, consumption, labour relations, and organizational behavior, while taking into account the unique societal and ethical perspectives of the Asian region. The term ''business'' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, while ''ethics'' is understood as applying to all human action aimed at securing a good life. We believe that issues concerning corporate responsibility are within the scope of ethics broadly construed. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labour relations, public relations and organizational behaviour will be analyzed from a moral or ethical point of view. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics - the business community, universities, government agencies, non-government organizations and consumer groups.The AJBE viewpoint is especially relevant today, as global business initiatives bring eastern and western companies together in new and ever more complex patterns of cooperation and competition.
