"We know what ethics means." Do we really, though??? I chuckled and squinted at that. Business and ethics are two concepts that I'd never put together. The definition given for ethics was "The best thing to do given the circumstances." Yet, who decides what the 'best thing' is? This is subjective and can so easily be abused. A business could be making 'ethical' choices for their bottom line according to their adherence to 'best thing to do given the circumstances' when it could be destroying the environment and the community. Oho, I hate the Friedman Doctrine. In fact, all four of them are terrible and lacking true ethics. I really loved your statement of, "Ethics do not change when you cross a border." I wish this was followed more often.
Good day Dr. Lon, Great Idea to invite high caliber guests in your sessions. Just if your guest speaks a bit slower then that would be perfect, as when the speaker speaks too fast, some of the points may get missed in between. By the way, I am totally agreed with Dr. David about the business culture in Asian countries, as I was working in that environment for few years. Great vid gentlemen.

Good point, Tony. I talk too fast, too. I need to remember to slow ut down. David was my very first guest so I'm glad you like the format.
