Earlier in the course we discussed that all business is local. Now we are learning that it seems all ethical standards are local. Yet multinational enterprises (MNE) must still operate in these countries. Choose an ethical dilemma encountered by a new MNE in a foreign country (for example, child labor, women’s rights or environmental issues, etc.).
As a human resource professional, how would you advise the company to operate in a country with different ethical standards? What strategies or guidelines would you propose they consider to remain consistent with U.S. law but still operate in other countries that may have a lower ethical standard?
