Abstract
"This volume of papers brings together the insights that researchers from around the globe have developed on ethics in micro, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). We are pleased to present an extraordinary range of papers giving regional perspectives from Africa, Europe, India, Latin America, New Zealand and Australia and the United States of America. The idea originated from a plenary panel on ‘Ethics in SMEs’ that was part of the 2008 Congress of the International Society for Business, Ethics and Economics (ISBEE) in Cape Town, South Africa. ISBEE is a global organization which has the goal of enabling the contemporary debates on business ethics and economics to include a developing world perspective as well as the dominant Anglo-Saxon developed world view. ISBEE holds a world Congress every 4 years, fondly known as the ‘Olympics of Business Ethics’. After previous Congresses in Tokyo, Saõ Paulo and Melbourne, the Cape Town Congress was ably hosted by the Business Ethics Network-Africa . Thirty nine countries were represented at the Congress, ensuring a rich and vibrant mix of perspectives. One of the two Congress themes was Ethics in Small and Medium Sized Enterprises, which took the form of both individual research papers and the global overviews presented here.", p. 1
