Using Reidenbach and Robin's (Journal of Business Ethics 7, 871-879, 1988) multi-criteria ethics instrument, we carried out the first empirical test of Robertson and Crittenden's (Strategic ...Management Journal 24, 385-392, 2003) cross-cultural map of moral philosophies to examine what ethical criteria guide business people in Russia and the U.S. in their intention to behave. Competing divergence and convergence hypotheses were advanced. Our results support a convergence hypothesis, and reveal a common emphasis on relativism. Americans are also influenced by the justice criterion while Russians tend to emphasize utilitarianism.

The use of Ethernet at the device or I/O level is, at best, in the early adoption stage, analysts say. Leading automation suppliers are starting to announce Ethernet-compatible products, and analysts ...are predicting worldwide shipments of device-level Ethernet nodes will more than double from 258,600 this year to 718,000 in 2002, and will rise dramatically in the next three years, reaching 1.6 million, 2.9 million, and 4.7 million in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively. Significant hurdles do exist when using Ethernet in industrial environments, though, and these can be grouped in two categories: performance and materials. To further ensure the highest level of determinism and system performance, switches should be employed in lieu of hubs, and careful consideration should be given to the operational/environmental limitations of the electronics selected.
Organizations are fundamentally changing retirement compensation as defined benefit plans are being replaced by defined contribution plans. Psychological contract theory suggests this shift will ...exacerbate the trend toward transactional employment while expectancy theory posits enhanced motivational outcomes. New research directions are proposed to inform organizations on managing this historic shift.
Spiraling compensation costs over the past two decades has led many firms to change their compensation strategies. There has been a shift in employee pension benefits as a form of compensation, as ...firms are rapidly moving from defined benefit plans towards defined contribution plans. In this study, we examine data and prior empirical analyses from the Health and Retirement Study to explore how this shift may affect retirees and employees. Based on an exploratory data analysis, we introduce a theoretical framework representing the relationship between retiree satisfaction and pension plans, and discuss its potential impact on organizations and their employees.
