Based on interviews conducted with 20 entrepreneurs from Australia and Malaysia who operated in the manufacturing and service sectors, a content analysis of the data revealed three clusters of ethical behaviours: (1) concern for ethical practices; (2) maintenance of honesty and integrity; and (3) taking responsibility and being accountable. The socially responsible behaviours that the respondents perceived to be important were grouped in four clusters: (1) responsibility towards society; (2) responsibility towards staff; (3) responsibility towards customers; and (4) responsibility towards entrepreneurship. The results showed that both Australian and Malaysian business owners considered and exercised ethical and socially responsible practices in their businesses. The study concludes by proposing a framework for empirically testing the links that ethical and social responsibility practices have with a firm’s competitive advantage.</span
