1.0 Introduction
Business practices in the emerging global economy
provide opportunities and challenges that require an ethical response.
Frequently, this response is made within the setting where one or more
religions have some influence on policy and practice. Recent developments in
corporate and economic life for e.g. the case of Enron’s call for new policies
and ethical responses. In response to said developments, novel academic and
governance debates are emerging. These debates have local, regional and global
dimensions and lack an appropriate forum (O’Brien, 2002).
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate
how the adherents of Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and Hinduism
holding management position perceive and apply the concept of ethics in their routine
office and personal business dealings.
