1. Does Jeff Ballinger have convincing argument about Nike? I think that Mr. Ballinger does have a convincing argument but I wonder is ethical approach to singling out Nike instead of focusing on foreign labor practices as a whole. Through his research and findings he compiles an interesting case about the abuse of foreign workers; however, he fails to mention that these practices are not limited to Nike alone. By not mentioning other companies that use the same tactics, he puts a negative image on Nike alone instead of all American companies who choose to outsource manufacturing to foreign countries.

Utilitarian Analysis of the Ford Pinto Case In the case of the Ford Pinto, there has been great debate on how Ford handled this problem and whether it was ethical. There are countless ways to look at the situation and how to handle it. Over the years, many have questioned Ford’s decision-making and why they focused on cost-analysis rather than ethics. “They thought of it as purely a business decision rather than an ethical one,” suggests Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel in Harvard Business Review.

There was not a written agreement between United Thermostatic Control and the customers, so therefore, the shipments should not have been sent. Campbell had been reassured by Lorenzo, Executive Vice President of sales and marketing, that there is nothing wrong with recording the revenues in 2010, however, this was still a concern for the CPA, Tony Cupertino. The legality of the events was within the laws of federal, state and local government. Reporting the revenue properly after sending out the shipments would not have violated the FOB shipping point.

They expected to have open discussions with everyone involved to produce a treaty and that there would not be any secret treaties. They hoped to be treated equally amongst other allies and managed fairly especially with negotiations. They did not expect the treatment they were given, and most of the fourteen points did not apply to Germany when she lost the war. Germany was not allowed to be part of the League of Nations, which meant she wasn’t involved in key decision making, the Germans felt this was hugely unexpected and unfair as she lost much of her strength and power. It resulted in diplomatic isolation, as she couldn’t defend lost Germans in other countries, and there were huge military restrictions where she was only allowed an army of 100,000 soldiers and very little weaponry.
The conclusion was that there was not sufficient evidence that supported or refuted the idea that silicon implants were a link to the reported diseases. The ethical issues and responsibility concerns presented in this case are corporate morality, the notion of strict liability and the ethics of a business decisions. When it comes down to it, John Bishop sums it up when he says, “Executives and everyone else have a moral responsibility to ensure that their activities do not result in the deaths of others if that result can be prevented” (242). This is exactly what Dow did not do—prevent the deaths and injuries from their implants that could have been prevented if they had only acted morally. In my opinion, individuals need to assume the risks of the operation.
