In the 1970s, Nestle the Swiss based MNC manufacturer and distributor of food and beverage products, was accused of ‘hooking’ mothers of Africa onto the use of infant formula powdered milk for their babies rather than mothers’ breast milk. Given the powder had to be mixed with water and African water was impure many babies died. The structure of the Nestle organisation in Africa contained separate product, marketing and sales functions. It was a standalone business entity. So, the sales and product executives in Switzerland were not aware that the infant powdered milk was being ‘mis-sold’ and ‘mis-represented’ leading to dead African babies. Many commentators believed that it was the structure of the African business that was to blame as it had no oversight from Switzerland. It is fair to say that Nestle made significant and profound changes to its governance structure after this event. 1. Explain what you believe could have been lacking in the Nestle Africa business.

Assume you are an engineer working for a chemical production company. You are on the technical team that is responsible for deciding what to do about the dangerous chemical that your company is using to produce its best-selling chemical product. Recent reports have just made known the dangers of this chemical, and the company now needs to decide how to proceed. There are several options to consider: stop producing the harmful product altogether and take a hit on total profits; continue to make the product and sell it, like nothing's wrong, since the federal government has not cracked down. You could also spend money and engineering efforts in R&D to develop a safe chemical that would take its place. There is no guarantee that this would happen any time soon, but the scientists think it is realistically possible. To make matters worse, your biggest competitor produces this harmful product off-shore and is not hampered by the US regulations. If you stop producing this product…
