...report was commissioned to show what are characteristics of Hawaiian business ethics and what should you expect if you are going to do business in Hawaii. This report shows that Hawaiian culture in its state nowadays is mixture of number of different cultures and heavily influenced by US. At the same time “Aloha spirit” makes Hawaiian culture something special. After analyzing information we found on Hawaii we concluded that the main difference from US is that Hawaiian culture is more of collectivism, and the whole society is based round the idea of “Ohana” which means family, even business use this concept. Building business there you have to know that relationships between company, it’s employees and customers are very close and not as formal as you can expect. Reflection of this can be found in dress-code which is very loose. Another point that emphasizes fact of “Ohana” concept in business is that during our researches it was hard to find examples of bad ethics. Another important thing to remember about Hawaii business ethics is that even though they are very openhearted and welcoming to any other cultures, they give a great value to their own culture and always trying to protect all their traditions. Despite the fact that Hawaii is one of the most distant and mysterious islands in terms of business ethics, in this report we tried to gather all possible information about most significant differences in Hawaiian business culture.
