A World Put In Perspective.... Rotary International Newsletter, 1999

 If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people with all existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look like this:

There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the western hemisphere, and 8 Africans;

51 would be female, 49 would be male; 70 would be non-white, 30 white; 70 would be non-Christian, 30 Christian; 50 percent of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of only 6

people, and all 6 would be U.S. citizens; 80 would live in substandard housing; 70 would be unable to read; 50 would suffer from malnutrition; 1 would be near death, 1 would be near birth; Only 1 would have a university education; No one would own a computer.

Goodpaster’s “Three Approaches” Method

Who are my stakeholders & what are the issues needing resolution with each?

What are the critical ethical values and assumptions held by each stakeholder?

Context of the Analysis– What actions can be taken giving them the

greatest cost/benefit ratio?– What actions can be taken that most fairly

support their rights– Given my duties to each stakeholder, which

take priority?

LEVI STRAUSSLEVI STRAUSS

Levi Strauss & Company uses contractors around the world to produce its popular jeans. In 1992 Levi Strauss established operating guidelines that detail everything from environmental requirements to health and safety issues. To implement the guidelines the company audited its contractors, discovering that two contractors in Bangladesh were using workers who appeared to be underage. International standards have established age 14 as a reasonable minimum age for factory work.

When the company brought the issue to the attention of the contractors, they replied that there were no birth certificates available, and the youths were contributing to their families income. Further, if the youths were not working under what were the humane conditions in the factory, they would probably be forced into more inhumane begging or prostitution.

NIKE IN INDONESIAGlobally, Nike markets athletic shoes manufactured in factories located in Indonesia. The “contract” factories in Indonesia are not owned or operated by Nike. The shoes, which retail for about $70 in the US, cost about $5.50 to manufacture. The Korean-owned (Lippo bank-financed) factories employ young Indonesian women whose wage rate starts at 15 cents an hour. With mandatory overtime usually resulting in eleven-hour workdays, some experienced workers earn as much as $2 a day, which is above the minimum $1.22 considered by the government necessary to meet basic physical needs. Harsh Korean managers routinely harass and berate those workers who don’t meet quotas, and withhold pay for any acts of defiance. Weak labor unions cannot influence the level of pay, nor can they move the military-dominated government to enforce the relaxed labor laws. Strikes are aggressively suppressed by the army. Michael Jordan was paid $2 million in 1992 for promoting Nike shoes. That was more than the total payroll that year for all of Nike’s Indonesia-based shoe production.

•What, if any, are the ethical or moral issues here for Nike? •How are Nike’s stakeholders affected? What are the potential positive and negative consequences, and the probabilities associated with each?•If you were the general manager for Nike in Indonesia, how would you defend your company to a Wall Street Journal reporter who presented these facts to you while asking about “sweatshops”, “worker exploitation” and the price of shoes in the US? •What can, or should, Nike do about this business arrangement?

Responsibility is more likely to be shared when there is: Delegation of responsibility and employee ownership of

this responsibility Expatriates who are “know-how partners” and share

expertise with local managers Continued staff development Bilingual communication Intensive management training for all executives Continued involvement with organized labor groups A report-oriented organizational structure Local input decision-making Long-term commitment by both partners [resources]
