.Assume that you are a high level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by producing shoes in Indonesia, where you could hire women for $40 a month to assemble them. You also know, however, that a competing shoe manufacturer recently was accused by human rights advocates of engaging in exploitative labor practices because the manufacturer shipped shoes made by Indonesian women working for similarly low wages. You personally do not believe that paying $40 a month to Indonesian women is unethical, because you know that in that impoverished country, $40 a month is a better than average wage rate. Assuming that the decision is yours to make, should you have the shoes manufactured in Indonesia and make higher profits for your company? Or should you avoid the risk of negative publicity and the consequences of that publicity for the firm’s reputation and subsequent profits? Are there other alternatives?
How can business leaders strike a balance between promoting ethical behavior and complying with legal and regulatory requirements while also effectively managing stakeholder expectations and maintaining a competitive advantage in today's global business environment?
In your opinion, how might political leaders use free will as justification for (some) restrictive and unjust policies as a management strategy for this pandemic crisis?
