Assignment task:
That we could be violating human rights, even though we aren't breaking the law, which strategy is supported by the Friedman Doctrine? Should we continue to buy our batteries? Choose the correct answer. Recognize that we aren't breaking any laws by buying the competitively priced batteries offered by our supplier and go forward with the purchase. Develop our own ethically sourced cobalt supply by investing heavily in costly monitoring services and safety equipment. Refuse to buy the batteries unless the supplier can confirm the cobalt used in them is mined ethically. We need to think about the rights of our stakeholders. Suppose this comes out in a news story. How would our customers react? Choose the correct answer. They would immediately buy a combustion engine vehicle and avoid the issue completely. They would probably demand a further investigation to determine whether we are acting ethically. They would agree that we aren't responsible for enforcing laws in another country and so we are acting ethically by using the cobalt despite not knowing its origin.
