The authors of “The Impact of Cultural Values on Marketing Ethical Norms: A Study in India and the United States. Journal of International Marketing” Pallab Paul, Abhijit Roy, and Kausiki Mukhopadhyay, conduct research in two countries, India and the United States, in order to examine how the different individual and community cultures are reflected in four chosen marketing ethical norms.Their findings outline how different the U.S. and India are in every aspect, but while they differ in most of the cultural traits, the U.S. and India still hold each other in high regard when it comes to trade. Throughout the article, the authors reference studies that highlight how the countries are ranked internationally when it comes to characteristics such as, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, power distance, and others. These rankings help them establish hypotheses of how the predominance of certain traits in either country could possibly be reflected in their ethical norms. After testing their hypotheses, they came to the conclusion that the U.S. tends to be stricter on following and enforcing their ethical norms than India. This research is very helpful because it offers a better understanding of how different countries prioritize their ethical norms and how strictly they follow them allowing people to be able to more clearly differentiate what is ethical and unethical.

“Do You Understand What Accountability Really Means” is a tremendous article i found from Jonathan Raymond, a harvard graduate. He states in the article, “Every leader I’ve ever met sees accountability as a foundational ingredient in a healthy and sustainable culture”. I found this very interesting as we had discussed in our group how important accountability was in managers and leaders. The article also talks about the relationship between accountability and punishment, and how sometimes punishment is the only way of creating long term accountability. The other important part of accountability in the article is conversation. Jonathan notes its important to talk to the person in the wrong and explain why they are being punished, or explain what they did wrong, so that they can understand why their being punished. This helps boost accountability and communication in the workplace.

The article “What’s Your Warrior?’ Army launches new ads with less combat focus” is a great article when it comes to talking about dishonesty and marketing, or rather overcoming dishonest practices in marketing. This article covers how this coming year, the army is rolling out a new marketing strategy that aims to de-emphasize combat in the army and encourage people to join in capacities such as science or communications. This is because the younger generations are less trusting of the army than previous generations, and because gen z is less inclined to buy into joining the army, using more online presence to attract younger people who don’t already come from a military family. 30-40% of the campaign on both internet video, sports, cable and social media. This is both more & less ethical than their previous “Warriors Wanted” campaign because while it’s no longer glorifying the forever war in the middle east as a recruitment tool, but shifting attention away from that ugly fact is also problematic since it attempts to hide what the army’s actual job is, to kill who needs killing. I do sympathize with the marketing team in charge of the “What’s your Warrior” campaign, since they find themselves in a catch 22.

“The Morality Play” Is a unique article, about a company that does what it says its going to do, instead of marketing itself as something it isn’t. “More than a quarter of U.S. consumers, for example, say they’d like to see the companies that they do business with get more involved in everything from protecting the environment to fighting homelessness to improving education, according to Roper Reports, a quarterly survey of 2,000 adults.” This fits in with our theme perfectly because one of out overlying topics is Volkswagens attempt to green wash their vehicles. AKA market themselves as a green company, producing economically friendly cars, however their cars actually don’t pass a standard emissions test without cheating. This article talks about how marketing is the impression you leave on someone, and it’s up to the company to back up that
