Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to report the results of a case study in a Japanese firm which provides a characterization of current Japanese-style business ethics practices. Furthermore, to develop a new model for verifying Japanese-style business ethics practices in the modern organization. The characteristics of Company ABC’s business ethics practices can be generally broken down into an overall focus on the continual improvement (kaizen) within various departmental workplace environments through (1) the dynamic utilization of internal staff and (2) a heavy emphasis on practical business ethics training and (3) proactive questionnaire participation. hese combined factors suggest a new formulation of a corporate workplace environment that is collectively focused on working together to increase ethical prowess, namely a Workplace Environment-Driven (WED) approach to business ethics practices.
