Do Business Ethics and Ethical Decision Making Still Matter: Perspective of Different Generational Cohorts

Background: Research in business ethics shows that individual differences can influence one’s ethical behaviour. In addition, variability in attitudes towards ethical issues among different generations is emphasized. Still, results are inconclusive and call for an additional examination of possible generational differences with regard to ethics and ethical values.
