Corporate Culture and Competition Compliance in East Asia

handle is hein.journals/scjilb15 and id is 8 raw text is: CORPORATE CULTURE AND COMPETITION COMPLIANCE IN EAST ASIA Jingyuan Ma* MelMarquis** Abstract Efforts to secure competition law compliance among commercial operators can usefully be tailored in a way that takes account of cultural characteristics. Since culture forms part of the conditions in which the development ofa robust and credible compliance system occurs, it makes sense to approach compliance issues in a manner sensitive to that cultural background. In the context of East Asian enterprises, this implies a need to take account of the legacy of Confucian ethics, which has had a profound influence on the psychology and behavior of commercial organizations in the region. The importance of that legacy suggests that compliance will not be achieved within East Asian firms solely on the basis of the external legal environment, an environment in which deterrence-oriented factors such as sanctions and the threat of detection play a central role.
