A North–South Comparison (2011, background): “…the scope of a business in these countries is urged to span further than mere financial performance as ‘‘ethically and socially aware behavior is not only ‘socially desirable’, but also a normal and acceptable (even expected) element of business life’’ (Spence and Rutherfoord, 2001, p. 138).”
