International Marketing

Sometimes, in developing countries, life may take precedent over ethics. The U.S., in an effort to reduce pollutants and support a healthy lifestyle for its people, banned many pesticides deemed harmful or polluting. Yet other nations have not banned these same pesticides. These pesticides are affordable and in many ways beneficial for poorer nations. When a nation does not have enough food to sustain its people, is it unfair to ask them to terminate the use of harmful pesticides and let people starve? As an international marketer for a pesticide company on the brink of bankruptcy, you are faced with ethical dilemmas. Your pesticides have recently been banned in the U.S., considered harmful to human health. Your company president tells you to market these banned products to other nations. You have read the reports, and you feel that these products may be lethal. Your president tells you that lesser-developed countries need these products and that it is not illegal to sell them there. Additionally, he informs you that without these sales, your employment with this company will be terminated, as the company will have to file bankruptcy.

Respond to the following:

•Identify the ethical issues associated with this situation.

•Describe the ethical behaviors that may be represented by your employer (who without immediate sales will likely need to file bankruptcy), the government of the lesser-developed country (who may experience famine in the years to come without your economical pesticide), and the people of the region (who may be injured or killed by your products).

•Would you market these pesticides to lesser-developed countries? Support your decision with rationale and resources.

Energy Choices

Worldwide energy consumption varies dramatically, but the impacts are shared by all. The most commonly used fuel sources for energy around the world are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. Combustion of fossil fuels releases pollutants to the atmosphere, where the emissions from all countries combine to cause local, regional, and global issues. One of the primary pollutants of concern is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change and governments around the world have taken steps to control pollution, but not all countries are successful in reducing carbon emissions.

While all countries produce pollution and emit greenhouse gasses, the emissions are greatly unequal across the globe. Consider what kinds of factors would determine how much energy is used by a country, a region, a household, or an individual. What factors would influence the fuel choices made by these people and institutions?

Conduct research to determine the common fuel sources, emissions, and total energy consumption by the United States and a developing country of your choice, such as China, India, or Brazil.

· What are the primary sources of emissions? What is the industrial or agricultural profile of the country?

· What are the similarities and differences in the fuel sources, emissions, and consumption between the two countries?

· What are the countries’ levels of involvement in worldwide emissions regulations?

· Discuss solutions or regulations to energy use in high-demand countries. How can high-use and low-use countries work together to reduce overall emissions?

· In working together to make these reductions, how would you address possible cultural differences and diversity concepts that will emerge because of this partnership? Describe how low and high use countries can bridge cultural differences through strategic partnerships.

· Support your arguments with documented evidence from credible sources using APA formatting and an APA style reference page.
