Abstract
The conference report, by Bob Donaldson of the host Cleveland chapter, notes that the delegates came from 19 different countries, with less than half from the United States. A delegate could have heard as many as 22 individual speakers in regular sessions, along with many exposures to other delegates in informal sessions. With this diversity it is difficult to find consensus, but three issues of increasing concern to planners came up during many of the sessions:
Three great scholars, one each from the United States, France and Israel, came to the same conclusion at the same time—the world would soon come to an end by flood. A great…
Abstract
Three great scholars, one each from the United States, France and Israel, came to the same conclusion at the same time—the world would soon come to an end by flood. A great conference was scheduled where it was concluded that the world would indeed be inundated abruptly in 30 days. After the meeting the three great scholars met for drinks and dinner. While sipping brandy after dinner, the American asked the Israeli what he was going to do during the last 30 days. The Israeli said he planned to make his peace with God. The French scientist, asked the same question, said he was going to take all of his money out of the bank and throw a 30‐day party, enjoying wine, women and song. Then they asked the American what he was going to do. He replied that he was going to spend his time learning to live under water. This story illustrates two points about planning:

Abstract
Presents the empirical findings regarding the ethical attitudes of business people in four culturally and economically different countries (Russia, Slovenia, Turkey, and the United States) based on the assumptions of integrative social contracts theory. Given the quality of institutions in the four surveyed countries and the quality of economic interactions, it was anticipated that the United States would rank the highest in ethical attitudes, followed by Slovenia and Turkey, and then Russia. The hypothesis was largely confirmed with some interesting, situationally induced, exceptions.

Abstract
Aim of the present monograph is the economic analysis of the role of MNEs regarding globalisation and digital economy and in parallel there is a reference and examination of some legal aspects concerning MNEs, cyberspace and e‐commerce as the means of expression of the digital economy. The whole effort of the author is focused on the examination of various aspects of MNEs and their impact upon globalisation and vice versa and how and if we are moving towards a global digital economy.

Abstract
This research provides accounting-ethics authors and administrators with a benchmark for accounting-ethics research. While Bernardi and Bean (2010) considered publications in business-ethics and accounting’s top-40 journals this study considers research in eight accounting-ethics and public-interest journals, as well as, 34 business-ethics journals. We analyzed the contents of our 42 journals for the 25-year period between 1991 through 2015. This research documents the continued growth (Bernardi & Bean, 2007) of accounting-ethics research in both accounting-ethics and business-ethics journals. We provide data on the top-10 ethics authors in each doctoral year group, the top-50 ethics authors over the most recent 10, 20, and 25 years, and a distribution among ethics scholars for these periods. For the 25-year timeframe, our data indicate that only 665 (274) of the 5,125 accounting PhDs/DBAs (13.0% and 5.4% respectively) in Canada and the United States had authored or co-authored one (more than one) ethics article.

Abstract
In the last four years, since Volume I of this Bibliography first appeared, there has been an explosion of literature in all the main functional areas of business. This wealth of material poses problems for the researcher in management studies — and, of course, for the librarian: uncovering what has been written in any one area is not an easy task. This volume aims to help the librarian and the researcher overcome some of the immediate problems of identification of material. It is an annotated bibliography of management, drawing on the wide variety of literature produced by MCB University Press. Over the last four years, MCB University Press has produced an extensive range of books and serial publications covering most of the established and many of the developing areas of management. This volume, in conjunction with Volume I, provides a guide to all the material published so far.
