Understanding how ethics and institutional systems influence each other can advance our understanding of the nature and causes of structural organizational ethics issues and help guide potential reforms.

SPOTLIGHT ON RESEARCH

file

Mohan Subramaniam studies strategic issues faced by multinationals.  One of his current research projects finds that the intensity of global rivalry among two multinationals increases the likelihood of these corporations forming an alliance with one another. Certain characteristics of the countries in which these alliances occur, such as their regulatory framework and cultural distance, also influence this likelihood.
