Answer: a) Top managers are increasingly responsible for maintaining high ethical standards for their own conduct, unfailingly exhibiting ethical behavior, and holding others in their organizations to the same standards.

b) In Southern Asia, most employees want their leaders to be collaborative, sensitive to other people's needs, and concerned with status and face saving.

Explanation:

a) Top managers around the world are increasingly enforcing an ethical environment in their companies because there has been massive scrutiny on them in the past. It is believed that the organization is a reflection it's leaders and the environment they create. For instance take WorldCom CEO, Bernard John Ebbers, had he been more ethically minded, WorldCom would have engaged in more ethical practices.

For this reason and more, these Top Managers are taking more responsibility in ethics.

b) In South-East Asia, employees expect their leaders to be more open with them and collaborative so that tasks at hand can have the best ideas to be pushed forward. They are averse to failure and as such are very concerned with cleaning up messes quickly and efficiently.
