Professor Sethi and his colleagues put the lie to this tired slogan, showing why globalization is a whole new game, with a need for a whole new set of rules. Already a commanding voice in the business ethics movement, Sethi uses his decades-long experience to expose both the power and perils of self-regulation. --Thomas Do Author InformationS.
