With the development of economic globalization, transnational economic activities continue to be conducted in different countries, a growing number of exchange and collisions happens between different cultures and systems, Misunderstandings and ethical conflicts caused by cultural differences have occurred, then what ethical standards should be based on to deal with such conflicts? People are often troubled by this complex ethical dilemma.Integrative Social Contracts Theory put forward by two important academic scholars, Thomas Donaldson and Thomas W.Dunfee, in international business ethics, absorbed western classical political philosophy and the latest social contact theory, with respect and tolerance as the basic principles, trying to provide a new analysis framework for understanding the rights and obligations of enterprise and staff in different countries, cultures and system, as well as illuminates people a new enterprise social contract. It created a "middle way" in how to establish a business ethics which generally accepted by all communities and also respect the cultural difference between communities. The theory in the foreign business ethics in academic circles not only has caused larger concern, but also is used for some enterprise practitioners, because of its normative and empirical research and strong operability.
