Abstract
International business research in emerging countries has grown rapidly over the past few decades due to globalisation and an increase in business opportunities. Therefore, the western institutions are placing more emphasis on conducting research in emerging countries. More importantly, each institution has its own approved ethical guidelines for research. Ethical guidelines are frequently embedded within western value systems and are unable to address ethical dilemmas when conducting research, particularly in emerging countries. The authors’ experiences of conducting research in four emerging countries are used to demonstrate some of these unexpected ethical dilemmas. This paper attempts to provide a conceptual framework for managing ethical challenges. A reflexive methodology is used to show how researchers can navigate around ethical dilemmas. We further provide implications for how reflexivity and ethical pluralism can complement existing institutional ethical guidelines.
