Abstract
In recent years, the relationship between Business and Society has been reconsidered all over the world. It has been discussed with a focus on Corporate Social Responsibility, so-called CSR. Generally speaking, arguments regarding CSR do not have a common background, but rather various backgrounds according to country or region. However, Japan and South Korea have a common background about CSR. First, business ethics associations were established in the 1990's. Second, Japanese and South Korean executives are interested in business ethics. Third, in Japan and South Korea, globalization progressed in the 1990's, and a lot of corporate scandals were revealed along with the globalization.
The purpose of this paper is to consider what kinds of differences exist in the features of corporate scandals in Japan and South Korea.
