Abstract

How should business people behave in an international situation where host country mores differ from home mores? The transformation of moral norms into actions is hardly touched by the literature in international business. Here, the author proposes to facilitate it through the use of meta-ethical concepts. One might fear that so high an abstraction level means the loss of practical relevance. Yet, an enlightened meta-ethical position brings real advantages for business people; e.g.: congruence between actions and discourses, aptitude to dialogue, or solid justifications for economically tough decisions. An actual example is given.
