Product Details
What should a manager with a multinational corporation do when his employee confides that he may have accidentally killed someone? The plant where they work is located in Vietnam; the employee, a native, is hesitant to face the charges given his concerns about the fairness of the local legal system. He is seeking both advice and help. The B case (UVA-E-0324) updates the situation and provides additional fodder for discussion.
To think through how values are relevant for managerial decisions as well as how the shifting context of the global marketplace may influence both what values are used and how they are applied in a given situation. To consider some of the challenging problems that may arise in doing business abroad, especially when certain local employees may be vital to the success of your operations in that country. To wrestle with the balance of a range of competing considerations, including personal loyalty, protecting a key company asset, upholding justice, and respecting local laws and larger notions of fairness, as well as managing your reputation within the community
