Abstract

This paper is based on the role of ethics in management. A comparison of the ethical management systems of MNCs in India and Indian Companies has been made covering various ethical management practices. The normal belief that ethical management systems in MNCs are better are found to be largely untrue. With reference to ethical practices, Indian companies fare better. For the purpose of comparison, the views of the senior management were only taken while the original research also covered middle management and employees.

Abstract

Ethics indicates the norms of conduct that distinguishes between acceptable and non acceptable behavior. It is important to adhere to ethical norms in research. Many reasons are cited to stress the need for adherence to ethics in research. Bearing the importance in mind government and non government agencies and Universities have adopted specific codes, rules & regulations relating to research ethics. The ethical principles are generally adopted in formulating such codes for research ethics.

Based on Manfred Schussler's, "Research Ethics and Good Scientific Practice - A Brief overview", a comparison of the data on Research Ethics between USA&India has been made. In all the unethical activities cited in the research, the percentage of unethical activities in India are high compared to USA. The American research scholars are ethical compared to the Indian research scholars. The reasons why Indians score low and suggestions for improvements are indicated.
