Attitudes toward Business Ethics and Degree of Opinion Leadership of Future Managers In the United States, Finland, and China.

The purpose of this study was to compare the attitudes towards business ethics of future managers in three countries: the United State, Finland, and China, and determine whether business ethics attitudes differed by the students major, class year, GPA, gender, age, and the number of ethics and religious studies courses completed. Additionally the relationship between the degree of opinion leadership and ethical attitudes was examined to determine if opinion leaders exhibited different attitudes towards business ethics.
