Often transnational business arrangements expose divergent sets of business ethics that may not be compatible with the needs and expectations of different stakeholders. This case study examines trans-border ethical behaviors resulting in a serious public relations crisis for a Western company trading on ethical and sustainable mantras, and examines the difficulty in creating international ethical standards without moral intervention by regulating authorities in favor of one cultural viewpoint over another. International business ethics models remain subjective and subject to variable interpretations of cultural equity based on national cultural viewpoints. Management of such trans-border ethical standpoints relies on the political will of contracting parties, either by agreeing on an established set of morals via a code of practice or an agreed way of operating; or enforced by the will of regulatory authorities in imposing a code of laws prefaced on a subjective world view of minimum terms and conditions for labor standards and health and safety in employment, a corollary of the movement toward corporate social responsibility and good corporate citizenship in business management.

Postcolonial thought has called this assumption into question and in recent years the work of theorists such as Edward Said and Homi Bhabha, inter alia, have led researchers to call into question the universalist claims of mainstream MOS, in the process opening up a new school of business thought premised on the search for resistance and hybridity in localized non-western settings.
The aim of this paper is to initiate an examination of the extent to which postcolonial questioning of established MOS norms has reached mainstream Academia in an Indonesian context, in particular searching the journals of prominent Indonesian business schools for indications of resistance and hybridity following from the work of Bhabha.
The key conclusions of this paper are that MOS in Indonesia remains a veritable clone of US mainstream MOS and has yet to make a conceptual leap to reflexive studies of Indonesian business behaviour and culture. Indonesia remains largely invisible both domestically and internationally as an academic subject of inquiry, with the historical impact and context of the Indonesian sociopolitical reality buried in the substructure of scholarship, almost never to surface in the dissemination of MOS in Indonesian Business Schools.
This short study points the way to a significant amount of primary research needed as a pressing requirement for Indonesian scholarship to take its place among the emerging canon of internationalized decolonized business theory, and concludes by offering suggestions for directions in further research.

Additionally it will argue in context that this may never have been the case if the policies of the United States as a nation-state in the formation and operation of the BWI are taken into consideration. Notwithstanding, this paper is not focused on any former power that BWI may have enjoyed, but on the situation as it stands today. Starting in 2008, with a serious international financial crisis primarily affecting developed countries, a shift of influence from the formerly powerful G7 economies to the emerging economies of the South has begun, away from neoliberal free market politics to a stronger emphasis on state intervention in the market. This in turn has led to a reduction in the influence of BWI and the rise of alternative influences on international markets, a corollary of which is the rise of the influence of larger emerging nation-states on international entrepreneurship, especially when they combine in new supranational or international groupings exclusive of the developed countries.
