106 Discussion Abuse of child labor is common in many developing countries. If you had the power to create employment laws to which domestic and foreign companies must adhere, what would you do to protect child laborers?
107 Discussion You are an executive visiting a foreign subsidiary in a poor country. You find that the subsidiary has hired a 12-year-old girl to work on a factory floor, in violation of the company s prohibition on child labor. You tell the local manager to replace the child and tell her to go back to school. The local manager tells you that the child is an orphan with no other means of support, and she will probably become a street child if she is denied work. What should you do?
108 Discussion You are overseeing a multinational s operations in a country where drug trafficking and lawlessness are rife. One day, a representative of a local big man approaches the manager and asks for a donation to help the big man provide housing for the poor. The representative tells the manager that in return for the donation, the big man will make sure that you have a productive stay in the country. However, you are well aware that the big man heads a criminal organization that is engaged in drug trafficking. You also know that the big man does indeed help the poor in the run-down neighborhood of the city where he was born. What would you do?
