Global Standards of Corporate Conduct: What are the Prospects?

As companies have globalized their operations, managers have increasingly faced the "When-in-Rome" dilemma. Should they embrace a single set of conduct standards worldwide or should they follow the standards prevailing in the various locales where they do business. And if they adopt a single set, what conduct should it require? In this session, Lynn Paine will discuss the Global Business Standards project that she and her HBS colleagues Rohit Deshpande and Joshua Margolis are conducting. Based on the team's work to date, she will consider the case for global standards to guide the conduct of companies worldwide. Professor Paine’s paper, Up to Code: Does Your Company's Conduct Meet World-Class Standards? is copy-written, and is available in the Harvard Business Review, or at www.hbr.org (Basic subscription required).

Lynn S. Paine, Professor, Harvard Business School
