The Business of Google and The Risk Being Thrown out of China Case Study
Over the last few weeks we covered three popular ethical frameworks (International Business and Bribery, Global Value Chain and Labor, GVC’s and Fair Trade) in business and how they relate to global issues.
We will be reading and analyzing a case study about Google in China. This case is interesting because it is turning the tables and showing us a situation in which a company tried to behave ethically but it wound up costing shareholders financially.
ANSWER THIS: (2-3 pages)
The final paragraph poses several questions regarding what Google should do in the future:
Could Google risk being thrown out of China, the largest and fastest-growing Internet market in the world?
Should they compromise their ethical code and resume censorship, if that was necessary to stay in China?
Focus your response on these while also applying the theories that we have covered in class.
