Global Strategy 3rd Edition by Mike Peng

Exercise 6

ON ETHICS: Some argue that investing in emerging economies greatly facilitates economic development at the base of the global economic pyramid. Others contend that moving jobs to low-cost countries not only abandons CSR for domestic employees and communities in developed economies, but also exploits the poor in these countries and destroys the environment. If you were (1) CEO of an MNE headquartered in a developed economy, (2) the leader of a labor union in the home country of the MNE mentioned here that is losing a lot of jobs, or (3) the leader of an environmental NGO in the low-cost country in which the MNE invests, how would you participate in this debate?
