Question.741 - Unit 9 - Assignment Analyze Whether Ethical Responsibilities are Impacted by Law, Legal Decisions, and Location of Business Entities Now that we have applied both ethical theories, laws and legal concepts to business situations, in this written assignment you will focus on how the ethical responsibilities a company may be impacted by other considerations. Apple is known for outsourcing manufacturing jobs to other countries. For instance, they have a relationship with Foxconn in China to manufacture their iPhones. Identify and define an ethical theory which you would cite when addressing concerns raised by Apple’s management as to whether worker safety laws from the United States or from China should apply to these workers employed by Foxconn. If child labor laws in China allow those under 16 years of age to work in the Foxconn factories, provide an ethical theory which would require that Apple apply the laws from the United States. Also, provide an ethical theory which would allow Apple to apply the laws from China as to child labor. If Apple returned their manufacturing of iPhones to the United States it would be required to meet environmental standards as required by the Environmental Protection Agency. This would only be cost effective only if the manager of the plant in the United States altered reporting to the EPA indicating that Apple was meeting EPA standards. Identify, define and apply an ethical theory which would support the plant manager’s position to alter Apple’s EPA reporting, and an ethical theory which would require that Apple comply with EPA standards. This should be a three-page analysis, devoting one page to each of the questions posed. Use and cite at least three additional authoritative sources as you respond to the questions posed other than the text materials.
