A global ethic

A global ethic is a set of core values that transcend national, cultural, and religious differences. As the world begins to function more as a single body than a set of isolated nations, a global ethic becomes increasingly important. "The global ethic is the keystone to the archway," Hitt writes. "Without it, the archway will collapse.".

Hitt not only defines this ethic, he describes how it serves as a framework for organizational leadership. The principles in A Global Ethic provide the foundation for action, making it an important and timely resource for leaders at all levels of industry and government.
