Terms of Global Business Engagement in Ethically Challenging Environments
本文以在缅甸的外国投资争议为例，探讨了在道德挑战环境中全球商业参与的四种模式：无限制参与、建设性参与、原则性不参与和制裁性不参与，并分析了它们的伦理、社会变革和文化基础。
Today’s international business environment is complicated by human rights abuses and social and economic repression in various countries. This paper introduces controversies with foreign investment in Burma to develop and describe alternative terms of global business engagement in ethically challenging settings. Two forms of engagement—unrestricted and constructive—and two forms of non-engagement—principled and sanctioned—are discussed. All four alternatives are examined for their ethical, social change, and cultural foundations. Additional considerations are posed in respect to constructive engagement, moral leadership by global business executives, needs for model building and evaluative research, and realities in the ethical context of global business.
