    Abstract

    In the contemporary business environments, marketing managers should be both effective corporate entrepreneurs and ethical decision-makers. However, are the two roles compatible? More specifically, will marketing managers be more likely or less likely to make ethical decisions when they take the corporate entrepreneurial roles? To address these questions, this paper constructs an CE/Ethical Decision interface based on Trevino=s (1986) Ethical decision-making model and the corporate entrepreneurship (CE) model of Hornsby et al. (1993). Based on the interface, this paper argues that marketing managers are more likely to make ethical decisions when they assume the corporate entrepreneurial roles.
