Ethical challenges and responsibilities of MNCs
- 1. Mike Perez Cole Underwood Sarah Torp Chapters 2 & 3
- 3. Socialism -There is government ownership but profit is not the ultimate goal -Based on the philosophies of Karl Marx, Friedrich Engles, and Vladimir IIyich Lenin -Classless society when everything was essentially communal -Broken down into two extremes: Communist & Social Democracy - Communist: Limited individual freedom, everything is government regulated. Former countries under communist control include Soviet Union, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. -Although many countries are no longer under communist rule, China is still communist to this day -Social Democracy: Achieved it's goal through a non violent movement -Australia, France, Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Spain and Sweden are examples - Problems: businesses that were nationalized were inefficient due to the guarantee of funding and the monopolistic structure. Citizens noticed an increase in taxes and prices
- 4. >The political system or system of government in a country greatly influences how it manages and conducts business. - Legal and regulatory environments can be extremely confusing. - In result, slower time to market and greater costs occur. - MNCs must take time to evaluate legal framework of every different market. > There are four foundations on which laws are based - Islamic Law - Socialist Law - Common Law - Civil or Code Law > MNCs must understand that there are certain rules that one must follow when interacting with another MCN. These are called International Law.

Ups and downs, fear of loss of sales, but it brightened the image of the USA internationally. Huge success, actually increased trade between countries Bureaucratization, a system of government in which most of the important decisions are made by state officials rather than by elected representatives. care more about the present than the future. talk about japanese example in the book. Privatization is the incidence or process of transferring ownership of a business , enterprise, agency or public service from the public sector (the state or government) to the private sector (businesses that operate for a private profit) or to private non-profit organizations.
