International Business: Ethics Assignment

So far, we have seen many benefits of international business to consumers, governments/economies and the corporations themselves.  Ethics deals with right and wrong; not necessarily legal and illegal.  As we have discussed in class, different countries have varying cultures and laws that stem from them.  As discussed in class, an international business person has two main lenses to view these differences; Imperialism and relativism.
