Abstract

This empirical study examines the attitudes of undergraduate and graduate business students in Mexico and the USA to determine if they share similar attitudes with regard to business ethics. Tests of significance were used to determine that there were significant differences between the two groups in terms of their attitudes toward specific ethics value statements and perceived consequences of an ethics code. The findings provide useful information in helping the people of these two nations better understand each other and should prove especially useful to those concerned with the increasingly important issue of ethics in business operations.
