Problem: Assume you are a manager for a shoe manufacturer that decides to move operations to Indonesia to increase profit margins. The company wants you to hire men and women for double the local average wage for that part of the world to assemble these shoes in a new factory in Indonesia that follows all local regulations.
1. In the situation described above, is the firm acting unethically in any way?
2. Should motive or conduct carry greater weight on the ethical scales in this situation?
