  • The predominant cultural values and moral standards of the Slovenian business environment today
    Jelovac, Dejan
    In the article etitled "The predominant cultural values and moral standards of the Slovenian business environment today" we are shedding light on a moral phenomenon typical for the Slovenian business ... environment that is presently inthe process of post-socialist transition. This is the phenomenon of the "honesty paradox" indicated by empirical studies on the basis of wich interpretation from an ethnical point of view have been developed. Namely, 75% of the surveved managers states that during decision making, honesty is their most importan guideline and simultaneously half of them declare that they are indifferent to the respect of moral principles in every day business life. This paradox causes evident consequences, that are empirically demonstrated through numerous scandals, frauds and the like, to a business culture in a period of transition. In this kind of business environment, one of the primary tasks of business ethics is to develop in its categoreal schemeand to emphasise especially the honesty phenomenon of the businessman. With this article we attempted to fulfill the above defined tasks.
