Abstract: | The premise of this article is that it is important to train domestic and international executives in management ethics using
corporate ethics codes. Incorporating ethics codes into the professional development of executives in business and industry
contributes to the institutionalization of codes in the global workplace. Ethics institutionalization imbues corporate structures
with understanding, both internally and externally, of the concepts of ethics. At an east coast University School of Management
a Comparative Code Method (CCM) was developed and tested. Among the major findings, was that the use of corporate codes quickly
transitions employees from an individual ethical perspective to a corporate ethical perspective.
