In recent papers, he has investigated the ethics and corporate responsibilities for marketing in the global marketplace; the potential of the Golden Rule for a globalizing world; Muslim, Christian, and Jewish views on wealth creation; new concepts of long-term investing; developing business ethics in China; fairness of the Renminbi-Dollar exchange rate; and business ethics education for MBA students in China.
