[SOLVED] Counter Point Summary

Should an MNE reduce its ethical standards to compete globally? Point Yes. When a U.S.-based MNE( Multinational Enterprise) competes in some countries, it may encounter some business norms there that are not allowed in the United States. For example, when competing for a government contract, firms might provide payoffs to the government officials who will make the decision. Yet, in the United States, a firm will sometimes take a client on an expensive golf outing or provide skybox tickets to events. This is no different than a payoff. If the payoffs are bigger in some foreign companies, the MNE can compete only by matching the payoffs provided by its competitors. Counter-Point No. A U.S.-based MNE should maintain a standard code of ethics that applies to any country even if it is at a disadvantage in a foreign country that allows activities that might be viewed as unethical. In this way, the MNE establishes more credibility worldwide.
