Ethics and Working with the Japanese: The Entrepreneur and the “Elite Course”
分析了美日商业交往中四种常见的伦理误解（家族排他性、灰色地带、忠诚和承诺），并基于企业家与精英路线的动态模型解释伦理差异及反趋势。
Ethical differences between U.S. and Japanese corporations and individuals often emerge during the course of normal business transactions and are a source of considerable mutual tension. This article looks at four common cases of ethical misunderstandings, each of which yields a particular type of issue: family exclusivity, gray areas, loyalty, and commitment. It then evaluates the standard dualistic interpretations for such ethical differences—for example, American individualism versus Japanese group orientation—and presents a more dynamic and interactive model based on the linked ideals of the Entrepreneur and the Elite Course to explain both persistent ethical differences and a variety of countertrends.
