Abstract

Nepotism in both its bad and good scopes is not mainly a result of national socio-cultural variances, nor is it the outcome of a global dispersion of morals and standards across nations. Rather it is a culturally driven business practice. Nepotism occurs when traditional forms of interaction are replaced by modern forms without a corresponding modern substitution for traditional social morals. For the successful use of nepotism, family members must meet certain qualifications such as an appropriate educational background and outside work experience. Outside work experience is the most important. In addition, corporations who hire family members should inform them that they will be fired in the case of unethical or illegal behavior no matter how closely related to them they are. This chapter explores nepotism.
