The executives of companies have a lot of decisions to make. The leaders must decide on many of these options in an ethical manner. People in our world hold a wide range of ethical beliefs and points of view. This video does an excellent job of providing an overview of these ethical principles along with a few ethical dilemmas that arise in daily life.
Ethics is a fundamental element not just in international business but also in life. The ethical standards by which companies function allow for an honest established relationships between business to business and business to consumers. The topics covered in this video helped me have a greater understanding of how ethics places a crucial role in the business world.
This video is very important, it shows how ethics should be shown in business, and helps you understand the importance of ethics if you were to someday be an employee or a manager of a company.
Ethics is probably my most favorite topic to discuss because it is everything. Especially business ethics because there is so much you can go into. This video taught me four important lessons to take away from which include: the definition of business ethics, major ethical issues in the world, the roots of unethical behavior, and five major philosophical approaches to business ethics. Business is very broad and if you aren't being careful you can get carried away in unethical behavior. This video did a great job explaining the key components that make up international business ethics.
Ethics is a big deal in the business world and can pose many issues. Ethical dilemmas are faced daily and corporate managers must decide what is best for the company and all individuals involved. Many factors play into determining what decision a person may make, including their personal ethical and moral values. This video did a really good job at explaining ethical issues and illustrating examples of ethical dilemmas that may arise in the business world.
Ethical Issues in International Business are not discussed enough. I enjoyed learning about this topic, and this video gave me a great understanding of ethical issues that occur every day. The first scenario is hard to swallow. I have a 12-year-old sister, and I couldn't imagine her having to work on the factory floor at such a young age.
This video was very informative. I personally did not realize how big of a deal ethical issues were in international trade. How many people are able to work around these issues is the key in order to have success when trading with different countries.
This video really opened my eyes to the fact that different countries consider different things ethical. It really helped illustrate that when opening up factories in other countries can cause ethical issues. Like the example used at the beginning of the video, it is like you have to choose between two different evils with the little girl. This video was very informative on the situation of ethics in the business world.
All business should be done ethically, I believe that without ethics a company will surely fail. Personally I enjoyed this video and believe that anyone who intends to have a job should watch this video and learn about business ethics.
Ethical issues are something most of us think we understand. We may understand ethics, but it may be very different in a different country. This video is very informative and better explains what ethical issues may arise in International Business.
This video helps by understanding the basic definition of ethics and how it can be used in international business. The example given at the beginning of the video is a great way to see how ethics works along with business and how it can be used to make an ethical decision.
My favorite part of this lecture is the slide involving the roots of unethical behavior. I'm a firm believer that the manager of an organization sets the ethical tone of an establishment, and understanding why managers act in an unethical way is really inciteful.
Ethics is a relly important topic when it comes to business and this video made me understand the decision-making and the problem-solving when it comes to ethic in international business
I believe that ethics and business go hand in hand with one another. Working in a business organization, we are exposed to different types of people and their own belief systems. In most businesses, employees work closely with one another and sometimes within group projects. Each country has their own ethics and how they believe it plays into the business world and this video showed me that.
I've always found ethics to be an interesting topic, especially when it comes to business because often times doing something that could really improve your business may not be the most ethical choice and could make you have to make a decision. I think this video did a good job explaining that and showing how making a business decision shouldn't outweigh the ethical responsible of a business.
I didn’t know what the fictional scenario was until i saw this video and read the power points to help me understand what the reasoning behind it. Thank you for the explaining it and breaking downs the right and wrongs for the actions of the organization
I've always been interested in the subject of ethics, and this film contributes to my growing knowledge of it. Although I've taken ethics classes in the past, watching this film that puts the beliefs in a corporate context has helped me understand the distinctions it would create from a practical point of view. I believe it is crucial to talk about ethical issues with students who want to work in business. Since there is a lot of cultural variation in modern workplaces, it is crucial to have a fundamental understanding of corporate ethics and behaviors.
Ethics in the business world is something that I think is covered a lot because it is so important in an organization's structure. The right or wrong culture will either make or break the company. This video did a great job of explaining what business ethics are, the roots of unethical behavior, and the philosophical approaches to ethics.
I enjoyed watching this video on ethics. Ethics, to me, is one of the most important factors in a corporation. Staying true and handling different types of ethical dilemmas within International business is important. Realizing that I was able to learn about these different perspectives in detail and I was able to self reflect and determine what type of ethical practice I value. Great video
I found this this video very informative. After watching “Ethics issues in the international business” I learn that ethics is no only important in business, but also important in non business situations. I learn that Nike was sued for allowing young children to work with horrible conditions and with low paid. Nike was judged for several moral ethics for allowing to hire young children
I think ethics can be traced back to that age old saying we all should have learned as a kid. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Of course not everything is always as black and white as we would like. The explanations of the different approaches to the ethical gray area were excellent.
Ethics is a huge part of business and life in general. This video explained that there are different values in different areas of the world. This video also talked about unethical behavior and how to behave in the real world. All great things to know!
Ethics is a major complication in making decisions. It is amazing how often just your own ethics or the ethics of others can affect you. This video really opened my eyes to how important this issue is.
I am glad that this video covered the issue of environmental pollution as an ethical issue. I care passionately about being a good steward of our environment and a lot of corporations do not care about the damage that they cause to our planet.
I think ethics in the world is a huge thing because it keeps certain standards in place. I think being in the business world and having good ethics does nothing but put a really good reputation on your company or your name. I really enjoyed this video because I really think everyone needs to learn about ethics because it will lead to the world being a better place.
This video helped me see how being ethical can change depending on the environment. In other classes we always cover ethical dilemmas regarding the workplace here in the U.S., we never go over what would be considered ethically correct in other cultures. As mentioned in the video, here in the U.S. one would not employ a child, however, in many other countries it’s necessary for children to work to get basic necessities , be able to go to school, or to help support their families.
This video provided great insight on how important ethics are in a healthy and prosperous business. Without proper ethics, people cannot make the best decisions, and if you are not being treated fairly, you have less motivation to perform your job. The level of authority you have, should not make okay to not perform ethical behavior. Different cultures have different views on this, so it is important to be open to diversity.
Before taking international marketing/ business courses, you don't really think about how different cultures have different ethical values. You also don't realize how you'll need to understand them in order to conduct business in other countries that have different ethical values than that of your own country. This video helped me get a better understanding of ethics overall and how it impacts the laws and business practices of other countries and cultures.
I love learning about ethics. I think it’s very interesting how certain behaviors and universally thought as correct or incorrect- and then it breaks further into different questions. I didn’t consider that decision-making processes can be a reason why managers behave in an unethical manner. Managers can forget that the decision may also have an important ethical dimension.
it is very interesting in seeing all the different types of ethics that go into the business world. Making good and ethical decisions can determine how the business succeeds or fails. In day-to-day business, ethical decisions are very common and are very important to move forward with a moral business. You have to be up to date on regulations in other countries to make sure to stay within moral practices within the business.
Before even watching this video I thought that international business would have a lot of ethical issuses. After watching this video I can see how big these can impact everyone around them. These problems get tricky when it is ethical in one country but unethical in another. I think it is important to undertstand both sides because the whole situation is very tricky.
Business ethics are extremely important, regardless of where in the world you are conducting business. However, this video illustrates how there is not always an easy answer for every dilemma, depending on the culture and economic hardships faced by other less developed countries. Nevertheless, corporate leaders have a responsibility to conduct business in the most morally and ethically way possible.
I think this video was very interesting to listen to, as it shows different examples and understandings of ethical issues within the workforce. In business, ethical issues happen everyday, but in international Business, especially shown in this video we can have examples of different types of ethical dilemas and how business ethics come into play in different countries and situations. It makes you wonder which ethical values and morals come in to play in different situations around the world.
Ethics issues has always been and still is a problem in the business world. This video showed me how these ethic issues start to develop and some philosophic approaches towards business ethics.
This video was especially helpful for me, as my Business Ethics course also covered the "Roots of Unethical Behavior" as discussed in this video. It's interesting how leadership can be root of unethical behavior, because you would think rational leaders would understand it is to their companies benefit for their subordinates to conduct themselves in an ethical manner.
I found this video to be very insightful on what ethical problems can come with running a business. It helps me understand the ethical decision when that can be different in other cultures. The poorer country has more challenging ethical descion making than another country.
This video gave a very good concept of some of the hard decisions that have to be made when dealing with international business. The first fictional scenario really showed me how difficult it can be to make an ethical decision when trying to uphold the ethical standard of your company, but not put anyone out in a situation that is dangerous. This video helped me to better understand how important it is to know what the ethical standard is of each country, and how it regulate their ethical standard with your company's.
I think ethics plays a major role that most people don't realize. There are multiple topics in our surrounding where both sides are both ethical and unethical to where we create an ethical dilemma. It even is interesting to hear how some people may view one situation as ethical while a similar one in unethical due to a small change in the situation.
First off, this video did a great job of explaining issues in international business and everything that goes on with that. It did a great job of explaining ethics in the business world and the different ways that could affect a company. Thank you for your insight on this video.
Ethics in business can be overlooked at times. As discussed in the video, countries do not have the same ethical beliefs as we do in the US. This video did a great job explaining what business ethic is, and how it is used to run an organization.
I found this video to be highly informative, particularly for business majors. The subject of ethical issues can be complex and easily confusing, but this video effectively summarizes and explains it, providing valuable education on the topic.
This video was most interesting as it’s always important to have good ethics, especially in Business. What stuck out to me most was the philosophical approaches to business ethics as it goes on the explain The Friedman Doctrine. I took away that a company’s sole reason is to maximize profits for its owners or shareholders as it is operating.
I found this video to be very informative and something that all business majors should watch and be educated on. This topic on ethical issues and can get pretty confusing and lost at times but this video does a very good job summarizing it and explaining it.
Ethics is an issue in every country, but when you start engaging in international business, it can become even more complicated. Like the video stated, what is ethical in one country could be considered unethical in another country. This can force companies into ethical dilemmas. I liked learning about how to handle ethical dilemma in this video.
This video caught my attention because unethical business practices from large companies are being exposed more and more everyday. It also affects consumers because they question their morals before conducting business with these places. I enjoy learning about ethical dilemmas because it makes me question what I would do in these situations. My understanding is corporations break these ethics to save and make more money faster, but every business owner needs to follow the ethical code by given out fair pay and better work conditions, as well as employees learning them so they will know when they are being taken advantage of.
There are many choices that the leaders of businesses haver to make. Many of these choices require the leaders to make ethical decisions. In our world there are many different points of view and ethical beliefs that people hold. This video does a good job at giving an over view of these ethical beliefs as well as give some ethical issues that are faced in the real world.
This video was very informative. Especially the first example about the 12 year old orphan girl. In the US we rarely see these things because our country has ethical roots and laws that would prohibit things like this from happening. In other countries the story is very different, and children unfortunately do have to work from a very young age and be the breadwinner for their families.
I think that ethics is such an important topic to discuss while in school and helping in knowing what is right or wrong. This video was very helpful in my understanding of ethics in business.
Principles have always been a problem, and you are correct that certain issues will never fully go away, but if businesses and individuals want to improve as a whole, we must begin to apply and follow good ethics. While determining what constitutes excellent ethics is not always straightforward, we can always rely on basic rights and wrongs. Having said that, it's a nice video.
When it comes to catching little opinions when it comes to making moral business judgments, this video is quite intriguing. The video, in my opinion, did a fantastic job of laying out the viewpoint and its constraints without stating whose viewpoint was the best.
Im a majoring in business and every business should have a code of ethics that they follow. Business should be represented morally positive because that will attract customers and will also attract people to want to work for your company. I believe in treating people right and doing right by people will bring an abundance of happiness and positive recognition.
I found it very interesting to learn about all the ethical dilemmas that come up in international business. It has made me realize how many dilemmas most companies probably face daily. I also thought it was interesting to learn about all the philosophical approaches to business ethics.
I found this video very informative because my career goal is to be a corporate attorney. I learned a lot about ethics in business from this video and found myself playing this video several times over. I think it covers some important topics that are worthwhile for all college students to learn.
This video is very informative. I feel like everyone (include non-business students) should see it. We don't always realize how much more their is outside of our own home sometimes. We also don't realize where a product is actually made and how it was made. We don't know the working conditions or the pay. This video really opens your eyes to think more about what where something comes from and who made it.
I believe that the discussion over ethics is a nuanced and complex subject. When adding in international business and learning about ethics from that standpoint it can get even more complex because all cultures don't share the same beliefs on what's ethical business-wise. Thanks for the break and awesome video.
I am someone who fully believes in ethics, and think they are some of the most important things to go by. In business, it is important to stay true to who you are and do the right thing. I also think in business it is important to consider different backgrounds, cultures, and other factors to ensure that we practice good ethics with them as well.
Engaging with the content of this video brought me genuine enjoyment. I came across numerous insights that were previously unknown to me. The comprehensive explanations offered in the video notably deepened my understanding of various ethical issues in our world. I commend the effort invested in producing this informative piece.
You can dive so deep into ethics of the business world, and this video does a great job of doing that. It's extremely important to understand ethics and how they apply to different cultures.
I like how the video touched on the different organizations corruption and unethical behavior. Most people don't realize what some companies view as reasonable and other parts of the world would never allow and have serious consequences and ramifications.
The “tone at the top” is a determining factor in the creation of a high integrity organization. Not only should companies establish clear standards and policies, but they should also be followed by both employees and high executives. This video does a great job at explaining what business ethics is, the roots of unethical behavior, and discusses philosophical approaches to business ethics. A company’s failure to monitor or manage its culture may cause questionable behavior which is why ethics should be taken seriously in the business field.
I believe that sometimes in business, people can forget about ethics. I like how in the opening example, it is a serious topic, but also a relevant issue. It is important for us to understand that just because we see something as ethical in our mind, it does not mean other people see it the same way. I also liked how you explained some of the different ethical practices in other countries and that helped me see that everyone has a different opinion of what is and isn't ethical.
Ethics is such an important topic to talk about. As ethics are different from culture to culture around the global market what is accepted in one culture may not be accepted in another culture. I feel like child labor is always talked about and seen as inhumane but the working conditions are not often talked about and those can be more dangerous for a family than a child working. Globalized businesses find themselves in tight ethical dilemmas across different cultures and if something is okay in one country why is it not okay in another? It’s all about the ethics accepted in each culture.
This video provided realistic scenarios that I could test my critical thinking to decide what to do if there was an ethical issue. I found this video to be very insightful on what ethical problems can come with running a business. It helps me understand the ethical decision when that can be different in other cultures.
Ethics is an extremely important topic in all aspects of business. It is important to learn about different cultures to know what would be ethical or not ethical in each different place. Thanks for the informative video.
The beginning of this video really captured my attention because it started off a little different than the previous videos. It started off with a more serious introduction. This video really shares all the issues and just gives me a more detailed look at the struggles in many countries.
Ethics is often overlooked in business. Until recently managers were always profit-driven first and only softly focused on the idea of ethics. Now, there are whole companies built on the idea of ethical and socially acceptable behavior. I found this video very intriguing because of the fact that are different ethical views for every situation. It was interesting to learn about these different perspectives in detail because I was able to self reflect and determine what type of ethical practice I am, great video!
Ethics is a very important topic in any business. Business ethics enhances the law by outlying acceptable behaviors beyond government control. Ethics improves your businesses reputation, and helps retain good talent.
I think it is important to understand ethics as business major, and more importantly understand that there are ethical issues that surround the business world especially when dealing in international business and understand how are ethics might cause a dilemma due to our cultural differences. I enjoyed how the video included all of this plus more and how it made it easy to understand.
Ethical issues are super important in all aspects of life. It is especially important in international business because it the ethics may change depending on the country. What is a common practice in one country might be unethical in another so it's important to know what the expected behaviour in every country where an individual is doing business.
This video made a really clear how big of a difference in culture it can be in different countries. It is always good to inform yourself when you want to open a business and apply for a job in a different country. This is a very informative video to think about this.
I am glad you enjoyed this video Malte, however, I have to disagree with you. I don't think that cultures matter when it comes to opening a business in different countries.
This video explains just how different bussiness ethics are depending on what country you are doing bussiness in. The difference between each country can be very different. Different from the amount of time worked to the working conditions. Insane how different everything is in different countries.
Ethics is a very important thing. I believe that every business should have good ethics, meaning that they should do what is right for not only them but for others as well. As a business person, I should be honest with the people I am in business with and not lie or try to "get one over on them". Being honest and having good ethics will get you and your company a whole lot further in life than lying and trying to take shortcuts. It will also help you to keep a good reputation.
This video was very helpful in the understanding of why businesses have certain standards, or why they should have better standards. Prior to this video I never payed much attention to how my job treated me, but after watching I see that I am working in a great environment. Ethics are so different everywhere you go, so i'm glad there are standards in the work environment!
This video gave great explanations and examples. It really gave me a better understanding on how many ethical issues there are in international business.
Ethics plays a huge part in not only business but also a persons life and how they act. There are a lot of things that us as consumers don't know about the company we buy from because it is behind closed doors to us. I believe that if a company has strong ethics and leaders to back that up then consumers will undoubtably follow. There is a major issue that what might be ethical in another country but it is not in our particular country. There is a ton of grey area when it comes to ethics in businesses internationally.
I believe as a business major, ethics is extremely important. Running a business is all about serving the community and people around you. When it becomes international, you have to understand cultural differences and ethics.
This video was very informative and and the video also help me understand how difficult some ethical decisions are for some companies depending on the situation that they are in and that not every situation is easy to make a decision, The video also told me how important it is to know different countries Ethical standards when you’re there
Ethics are very important in our personal life and our work life. They determine the type of person you are, and what you can bring in to the company. Ethics are different for international business due to the different countries and their culture. However, we should always do the right thing, if we want the change. For example, like mentioned, if there is a girl working in a factory and everybody acts like nothing is happening, this will continue to happen On the other hand, if someone puts a stop this will stop other kids from working, which will prevent major accidents. Ethics can either ruin or improve the reputation of a business or a person.
Ethics is a critical factor that impacts not just businesses, but also shapes an individual's character and behavior. It's concerning that as consumers, we often lack transparency into the inner workings of the companies we support. In my opinion, the ethical values of a company, driven by its leaders, are what truly influence consumer trust and loyalty. However, navigating ethics becomes complex in an interconnected global economy, where cultural differences can result in varying perceptions of what is ethical. The blurry line of ethical standards across countries adds an additional layer of complexity to the already intricate landscape of business ethics.
I have learned about business ethics in other classes before, but this is the first time i've learned about through an international lens. The hypothetical situations make the viewer think and put themselves in managements shoes. Also i enjoy the way the video is structured, not to much information is given per slide and it is easy to pause on each screen to take notes. the pacing is constant but not too fast
Ethics play a huge role in the corporate world on setting guidelines in the company on what not do and what you should do. Overall though basic ethic that humans should have learned plays a huge part in our lives on how we treat others inside of work and outside of work as well!
Ethics is always one of the most important topics when it comes to business. There's many different beliefs on what is seemed to be ethical or not. Understanding different cultures and what is normal to them versus normal to us, helps us know the differences in practices and beliefs when involving ourselves with others.
I think it's very important for people who conduct business outside their home nations or with people of different cultures to learn and understand the ethics of their environment. Ethics is very different from culture to culture so it is very important to be aware of the norms and what is and isn't acceptable. It's very important to be on the lookout for unethical behaviors, even if small it can grow into something that isn't safe for a good working environment.
This video was very informative on the topic of ethics. It is clear that every business must deal with some type of ethical dilemma at some point in time and should be trained and prepared to handle this situation appropriately. It is easy to see how certain businesses would quickly fail if they were to handle business unethically.
Ethics was one of the most interesting aspects of this class. It was interesting to see the dilemma that many business managers are faced with when it comes to ethics.
I particularly enjoyed this topic of business ethics and it is a lot more expansive than I believed it would be. Sometimes I might have a narrow mindset and believe that most countries have the same values as the US. That’s not the case and it was interesting to compare different countries' ethics.
It is important to follow an ethical code in business because it provides a good image for the company, helps everyone involved, and builds a strong reputation that can last forever. Sustaining the environment and providing customers with the best product or service for the right price is a good way to pave the road to success. Once a business loses sight on its ethics, it loses sight of building a successful career.
Ethics is a very interesting topic in regards to business, especially for international business. The ability to adapt your principles to another countries is very telling for plenty of us businesses, as if the labor is cheaper they will go there regardless of many factors. These being losing jobs at the home front and having sketchy payment practices for overseas employees. The act of going overseas isn’t bad in itself, the problem lies with the correctness of companies that can do so.
When it comes to business, ethics is a very important subject that needs to be addressed. I think that this video does a great job describing it and enlightening the topic.
Ethics have always been an issue, and you are right to say that some problem will never truly go away, but should businesses, as well as people, get better as a whole, then we need to start applying and following good ethics. While it may not always be easy to determine what are good ethics, we can always rely on basic rights and wrongs. That being said, good video.
Regardless of what major of job you choose, it's important to ensure that ethics is understood. This is especially important when visiting other companies and trying to explain to the locals why something might be ethically wrong. Ethics can differ between individuals, but I believe it is important to look out for others.
When it comes to business, one of the most crucial themes is always ethics. There are many diverse perspectives on what is ethical and what is not. Understanding different cultures and what is typical for them against what is normal for us aids us in recognizing differences in behaviors and beliefs while interacting with others.
This lecture was very informative and easy to understand. Ethical dilemmas were discussed. I think this is a key component of an organization because we all come from different understandings and backgrounds. It is important to embody philosophical principles because there are many dilemmas that can come about in the workplace.
I like this video I always knew business ethics were important. I never looked at how different other countries and cultures view ethics and how different they can be from other countries.
I always knew that Ethics played a large role in how companies do business. However, I never realized that there were so many different philosophical approaches to Ethics in International Business. As said in the Friedman Doctrine, I think it might be a little outdated. I can understand why companies would do that. I think nowadays though, that most companies take pride in treating workers better than the bear minimum because it helps with appearance and lowers turnover in workers. It continues to be of the upmost important to hold high ethical standards and this video helped reemphasize that. And why companies may make the ethical decisions that they do.
Ethic issues in international business should be a much more talked about topic seeing that is a very serious one. Many businesses are focused on how to get the most product out of the cheapest labor which is very unethical. Ethics is a very diverse topic because all individuals are raised differently, I think that is is best if every business sets strict policies and standards that establish what is and is not. This video does a great job at explaining this topic, a very informative video.
The executives of companies have a lot of decisions to make. The leaders must decide on many of these options in an ethical manner. People in our world hold a wide range of ethical beliefs and points of view.

I found this this video very informative. After watching “Ethics issues in the international business” I learn that ethics is no only important in business, but also important in non business situations. I learn that Nike was sued for allowing young children to work with horrible conditions and with low paid. Nike was judged for several moral ethics for allowing to hire young children
I think ethics can be traced back to that age old saying we all should have learned as a kid. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Of course not everything is always as black and white as we would like. The explanations of the different approaches to the ethical gray area were excellent.
Ethics is a huge part of business and life in general. This video explained that there are different values in different areas of the world. This video also talked about unethical behavior and how to behave in the real world. All great things to know!
Ethics is a major complication in making decisions. It is amazing how often just your own ethics or the ethics of others can affect you. This video really opened my eyes to how important this issue is.
I am glad that this video covered the issue of environmental pollution as an ethical issue. I care passionately about being a good steward of our environment and a lot of corporations do not care about the damage that they cause to our planet.
I think ethics in the world is a huge thing because it keeps certain standards in place. I think being in the business world and having good ethics does nothing but put a really good reputation on your company or your name. I really enjoyed this video because I really think everyone needs to learn about ethics because it will lead to the world being a better place.
This video helped me see how being ethical can change depending on the environment. In other classes we always cover ethical dilemmas regarding the workplace here in the U.S., we never go over what would be considered ethically correct in other cultures. As mentioned in the video, here in the U.S. one would not employ a child, however, in many other countries it’s necessary for children to work to get basic necessities , be able to go to school, or to help support their families.
This video provided great insight on how important ethics are in a healthy and prosperous business. Without proper ethics, people cannot make the best decisions, and if you are not being treated fairly, you have less motivation to perform your job. The level of authority you have, should not make okay to not perform ethical behavior. Different cultures have different views on this, so it is important to be open to diversity.
Before taking international marketing/ business courses, you don't really think about how different cultures have different ethical values. You also don't realize how you'll need to understand them in order to conduct business in other countries that have different ethical values than that of your own country. This video helped me get a better understanding of ethics overall and how it impacts the laws and business practices of other countries and cultures.
I love learning about ethics. I think it’s very interesting how certain behaviors and universally thought as correct or incorrect- and then it breaks further into different questions. I didn’t consider that decision-making processes can be a reason why managers behave in an unethical manner. Managers can forget that the decision may also have an important ethical dimension.
it is very interesting in seeing all the different types of ethics that go into the business world. Making good and ethical decisions can determine how the business succeeds or fails. In day-to-day business, ethical decisions are very common and are very important to move forward with a moral business. You have to be up to date on regulations in other countries to make sure to stay within moral practices within the business.
Before even watching this video I thought that international business would have a lot of ethical issuses. After watching this video I can see how big these can impact everyone around them. These problems get tricky when it is ethical in one country but unethical in another. I think it is important to undertstand both sides because the whole situation is very tricky.
Business ethics are extremely important, regardless of where in the world you are conducting business. However, this video illustrates how there is not always an easy answer for every dilemma, depending on the culture and economic hardships faced by other less developed countries. Nevertheless, corporate leaders have a responsibility to conduct business in the most morally and ethically way possible.
I think this video was very interesting to listen to, as it shows different examples and understandings of ethical issues within the workforce. In business, ethical issues happen everyday, but in international Business, especially shown in this video we can have examples of different types of ethical dilemas and how business ethics come into play in different countries and situations. It makes you wonder which ethical values and morals come in to play in different situations around the world.
Ethics issues has always been and still is a problem in the business world. This video showed me how these ethic issues start to develop and some philosophic approaches towards business ethics.
This video was especially helpful for me, as my Business Ethics course also covered the "Roots of Unethical Behavior" as discussed in this video. It's interesting how leadership can be root of unethical behavior, because you would think rational leaders would understand it is to their companies benefit for their subordinates to conduct themselves in an ethical manner.
I found this video to be very insightful on what ethical problems can come with running a business. It helps me understand the ethical decision when that can be different in other cultures. The poorer country has more challenging ethical descion making than another country.
This video gave a very good concept of some of the hard decisions that have to be made when dealing with international business. The first fictional scenario really showed me how difficult it can be to make an ethical decision when trying to uphold the ethical standard of your company, but not put anyone out in a situation that is dangerous. This video helped me to better understand how important it is to know what the ethical standard is of each country, and how it regulate their ethical standard with your company's.
I think ethics plays a major role that most people don't realize. There are multiple topics in our surrounding where both sides are both ethical and unethical to where we create an ethical dilemma. It even is interesting to hear how some people may view one situation as ethical while a similar one in unethical due to a small change in the situation.
First off, this video did a great job of explaining issues in international business and everything that goes on with that. It did a great job of explaining ethics in the business world and the different ways that could affect a company. Thank you for your insight on this video.
Ethics in business can be overlooked at times. As discussed in the video, countries do not have the same ethical beliefs as we do in the US. This video did a great job explaining what business ethic is, and how it is used to run an organization.
I found this video to be highly informative, particularly for business majors. The subject of ethical issues can be complex and easily confusing, but this video effectively summarizes and explains it, providing valuable education on the topic.
This video was most interesting as it’s always important to have good ethics, especially in Business. What stuck out to me most was the philosophical approaches to business ethics as it goes on the explain The Friedman Doctrine. I took away that a company’s sole reason is to maximize profits for its owners or shareholders as it is operating.
I found this video to be very informative and something that all business majors should watch and be educated on. This topic on ethical issues and can get pretty confusing and lost at times but this video does a very good job summarizing it and explaining it.
I appreciate how detailed this video is and can appreciate the real-world examples of ethical delimas, such as child labor.
Ethics is an issue in every country, but when you start engaging in international business, it can become even more complicated. Like the video stated, what is ethical in one country could be considered unethical in another country. This can force companies into ethical dilemmas. I liked learning about how to handle ethical dilemma in this video.
This video caught my attention because unethical business practices from large companies are being exposed more and more everyday. It also affects consumers because they question their morals before conducting business with these places. I enjoy learning about ethical dilemmas because it makes me question what I would do in these situations. My understanding is corporations break these ethics to save and make more money faster, but every business owner needs to follow the ethical code by given out fair pay and better work conditions, as well as employees learning them so they will know when they are being taken advantage of.
There are many choices that the leaders of businesses haver to make. Many of these choices require the leaders to make ethical decisions. In our world there are many different points of view and ethical beliefs that people hold. This video does a good job at giving an over view of these ethical beliefs as well as give some ethical issues that are faced in the real world.
This video was very informative. Especially the first example about the 12 year old orphan girl. In the US we rarely see these things because our country has ethical roots and laws that would prohibit things like this from happening. In other countries the story is very different, and children unfortunately do have to work from a very young age and be the breadwinner for their families.
I think that ethics is such an important topic to discuss while in school and helping in knowing what is right or wrong. This video was very helpful in my understanding of ethics in business.
Principles have always been a problem, and you are correct that certain issues will never fully go away, but if businesses and individuals want to improve as a whole, we must begin to apply and follow good ethics. While determining what constitutes excellent ethics is not always straightforward, we can always rely on basic rights and wrongs. Having said that, it's a nice video.
When it comes to catching little opinions when it comes to making moral business judgments, this video is quite intriguing. The video, in my opinion, did a fantastic job of laying out the viewpoint and its constraints without stating whose viewpoint was the best.
Im a majoring in business and every business should have a code of ethics that they follow. Business should be represented morally positive because that will attract customers and will also attract people to want to work for your company. I believe in treating people right and doing right by people will bring an abundance of happiness and positive recognition.
I found it very interesting to learn about all the ethical dilemmas that come up in international business. It has made me realize how many dilemmas most companies probably face daily. I also thought it was interesting to learn about all the philosophical approaches to business ethics.
I found this video very informative because my career goal is to be a corporate attorney. I learned a lot about ethics in business from this video and found myself playing this video several times over. I think it covers some important topics that are worthwhile for all college students to learn.
This video is very informative. I feel like everyone (include non-business students) should see it. We don't always realize how much more their is outside of our own home sometimes. We also don't realize where a product is actually made and how it was made. We don't know the working conditions or the pay. This video really opens your eyes to think more about what where something comes from and who made it.
I believe that the discussion over ethics is a nuanced and complex subject. When adding in international business and learning about ethics from that standpoint it can get even more complex because all cultures don't share the same beliefs on what's ethical business-wise. Thanks for the break and awesome video.
I am someone who fully believes in ethics, and think they are some of the most important things to go by. In business, it is important to stay true to who you are and do the right thing. I also think in business it is important to consider different backgrounds, cultures, and other factors to ensure that we practice good ethics with them as well.
Engaging with the content of this video brought me genuine enjoyment. I came across numerous insights that were previously unknown to me. The comprehensive explanations offered in the video notably deepened my understanding of various ethical issues in our world. I commend the effort invested in producing this informative piece.
You can dive so deep into ethics of the business world, and this video does a great job of doing that. It's extremely important to understand ethics and how they apply to different cultures.
I like how the video touched on the different organizations corruption and unethical behavior. Most people don't realize what some companies view as reasonable and other parts of the world would never allow and have serious consequences and ramifications.
Ethics has always been a topic that has interested me, this video was really good because it brought the topic into the business world
The “tone at the top” is a determining factor in the creation of a high integrity organization. Not only should companies establish clear standards and policies, but they should also be followed by both employees and high executives. This video does a great job at explaining what business ethics is, the roots of unethical behavior, and discusses philosophical approaches to business ethics. A company’s failure to monitor or manage its culture may cause questionable behavior which is why ethics should be taken seriously in the business field.
This is a great video and I believe everyone should see it. It does great by showing how ethics and cultures can be perceived differently.
I believe that sometimes in business, people can forget about ethics. I like how in the opening example, it is a serious topic, but also a relevant issue. It is important for us to understand that just because we see something as ethical in our mind, it does not mean other people see it the same way. I also liked how you explained some of the different ethical practices in other countries and that helped me see that everyone has a different opinion of what is and isn't ethical.
Ethics is such an important topic to talk about. As ethics are different from culture to culture around the global market what is accepted in one culture may not be accepted in another culture. I feel like child labor is always talked about and seen as inhumane but the working conditions are not often talked about and those can be more dangerous for a family than a child working. Globalized businesses find themselves in tight ethical dilemmas across different cultures and if something is okay in one country why is it not okay in another? It’s all about the ethics accepted in each culture.
This video provided realistic scenarios that I could test my critical thinking to decide what to do if there was an ethical issue. I found this video to be very insightful on what ethical problems can come with running a business. It helps me understand the ethical decision when that can be different in other cultures.
Ethics is an extremely important topic in all aspects of business. It is important to learn about different cultures to know what would be ethical or not ethical in each different place. Thanks for the informative video.
The beginning of this video really captured my attention because it started off a little different than the previous videos. It started off with a more serious introduction. This video really shares all the issues and just gives me a more detailed look at the struggles in many countries.
Ethics is often overlooked in business. Until recently managers were always profit-driven first and only softly focused on the idea of ethics. Now, there are whole companies built on the idea of ethical and socially acceptable behavior. I found this video very intriguing because of the fact that are different ethical views for every situation. It was interesting to learn about these different perspectives in detail because I was able to self reflect and determine what type of ethical practice I am, great video!
Ethics is a very important topic in any business. Business ethics enhances the law by outlying acceptable behaviors beyond government control. Ethics improves your businesses reputation, and helps retain good talent.
I think it is important to understand ethics as business major, and more importantly understand that there are ethical issues that surround the business world especially when dealing in international business and understand how are ethics might cause a dilemma due to our cultural differences. I enjoyed how the video included all of this plus more and how it made it easy to understand.
Ethical issues are super important in all aspects of life. It is especially important in international business because it the ethics may change depending on the country. What is a common practice in one country might be unethical in another so it's important to know what the expected behaviour in every country where an individual is doing business.
This video made a really clear how big of a difference in culture it can be in different countries. It is always good to inform yourself when you want to open a business and apply for a job in a different country. This is a very informative video to think about this.
I am glad you enjoyed this video Malte, however, I have to disagree with you. I don't think that cultures matter when it comes to opening a business in different countries.
This video explains just how different bussiness ethics are depending on what country you are doing bussiness in. The difference between each country can be very different. Different from the amount of time worked to the working conditions. Insane how different everything is in different countries.
Ethics is a very important thing. I believe that every business should have good ethics, meaning that they should do what is right for not only them but for others as well. As a business person, I should be honest with the people I am in business with and not lie or try to "get one over on them". Being honest and having good ethics will get you and your company a whole lot further in life than lying and trying to take shortcuts. It will also help you to keep a good reputation.
This video was very helpful in the understanding of why businesses have certain standards, or why they should have better standards. Prior to this video I never payed much attention to how my job treated me, but after watching I see that I am working in a great environment. Ethics are so different everywhere you go, so i'm glad there are standards in the work environment!
This video gave great explanations and examples. It really gave me a better understanding on how many ethical issues there are in international business.
Ethics plays a huge part in not only business but also a persons life and how they act. There are a lot of things that us as consumers don't know about the company we buy from because it is behind closed doors to us. I believe that if a company has strong ethics and leaders to back that up then consumers will undoubtably follow. There is a major issue that what might be ethical in another country but it is not in our particular country. There is a ton of grey area when it comes to ethics in businesses internationally.
I believe as a business major, ethics is extremely important. Running a business is all about serving the community and people around you. When it becomes international, you have to understand cultural differences and ethics.
This video was very informative and and the video also help me understand how difficult some ethical decisions are for some companies depending on the situation that they are in and that not every situation is easy to make a decision, The video also told me how important it is to know different countries Ethical standards when you’re there
Ethics are very important in our personal life and our work life. They determine the type of person you are, and what you can bring in to the company. Ethics are different for international business due to the different countries and their culture. However, we should always do the right thing, if we want the change. For example, like mentioned, if there is a girl working in a factory and everybody acts like nothing is happening, this will continue to happen On the other hand, if someone puts a stop this will stop other kids from working, which will prevent major accidents. Ethics can either ruin or improve the reputation of a business or a person.
Ethics is a critical factor that impacts not just businesses, but also shapes an individual's character and behavior. It's concerning that as consumers, we often lack transparency into the inner workings of the companies we support. In my opinion, the ethical values of a company, driven by its leaders, are what truly influence consumer trust and loyalty. However, navigating ethics becomes complex in an interconnected global economy, where cultural differences can result in varying perceptions of what is ethical. The blurry line of ethical standards across countries adds an additional layer of complexity to the already intricate landscape of business ethics.
I have learned about business ethics in other classes before, but this is the first time i've learned about through an international lens. The hypothetical situations make the viewer think and put themselves in managements shoes. Also i enjoy the way the video is structured, not to much information is given per slide and it is easy to pause on each screen to take notes. the pacing is constant but not too fast
Ethics play a huge role in the corporate world on setting guidelines in the company on what not do and what you should do. Overall though basic ethic that humans should have learned plays a huge part in our lives on how we treat others inside of work and outside of work as well!
Ethics is always one of the most important topics when it comes to business. There's many different beliefs on what is seemed to be ethical or not. Understanding different cultures and what is normal to them versus normal to us, helps us know the differences in practices and beliefs when involving ourselves with others.
I think it's very important for people who conduct business outside their home nations or with people of different cultures to learn and understand the ethics of their environment. Ethics is very different from culture to culture so it is very important to be aware of the norms and what is and isn't acceptable. It's very important to be on the lookout for unethical behaviors, even if small it can grow into something that isn't safe for a good working environment.
This is a great video! Ethics is difficult because it often times falls into a "grey area" about what the right thing to do is.
This video was very informative on the topic of ethics. It is clear that every business must deal with some type of ethical dilemma at some point in time and should be trained and prepared to handle this situation appropriately. It is easy to see how certain businesses would quickly fail if they were to handle business unethically.
Ethics was one of the most interesting aspects of this class. It was interesting to see the dilemma that many business managers are faced with when it comes to ethics.
I particularly enjoyed this topic of business ethics and it is a lot more expansive than I believed it would be. Sometimes I might have a narrow mindset and believe that most countries have the same values as the US. That’s not the case and it was interesting to compare different countries' ethics.
It is important to follow an ethical code in business because it provides a good image for the company, helps everyone involved, and builds a strong reputation that can last forever. Sustaining the environment and providing customers with the best product or service for the right price is a good way to pave the road to success. Once a business loses sight on its ethics, it loses sight of building a successful career.
Ethics is a very interesting topic in regards to business, especially for international business. The ability to adapt your principles to another countries is very telling for plenty of us businesses, as if the labor is cheaper they will go there regardless of many factors. These being losing jobs at the home front and having sketchy payment practices for overseas employees. The act of going overseas isn’t bad in itself, the problem lies with the correctness of companies that can do so.
When it comes to business, ethics is a very important subject that needs to be addressed. I think that this video does a great job describing it and enlightening the topic.
Ethics have always been an issue, and you are right to say that some problem will never truly go away, but should businesses, as well as people, get better as a whole, then we need to start applying and following good ethics. While it may not always be easy to determine what are good ethics, we can always rely on basic rights and wrongs. That being said, good video.
Regardless of what major of job you choose, it's important to ensure that ethics is understood. This is especially important when visiting other companies and trying to explain to the locals why something might be ethically wrong. Ethics can differ between individuals, but I believe it is important to look out for others.
When it comes to business, one of the most crucial themes is always ethics. There are many diverse perspectives on what is ethical and what is not. Understanding different cultures and what is typical for them against what is normal for us aids us in recognizing differences in behaviors and beliefs while interacting with others.
This lecture was very informative and easy to understand. Ethical dilemmas were discussed. I think this is a key component of an organization because we all come from different understandings and backgrounds. It is important to embody philosophical principles because there are many dilemmas that can come about in the workplace.
I like this video I always knew business ethics were important. I never looked at how different other countries and cultures view ethics and how different they can be from other countries.
I always knew that Ethics played a large role in how companies do business. However, I never realized that there were so many different philosophical approaches to Ethics in International Business. As said in the Friedman Doctrine, I think it might be a little outdated. I can understand why companies would do that. I think nowadays though, that most companies take pride in treating workers better than the bear minimum because it helps with appearance and lowers turnover in workers. It continues to be of the upmost important to hold high ethical standards and this video helped reemphasize that. And why companies may make the ethical decisions that they do.
Ethic issues in international business should be a much more talked about topic seeing that is a very serious one. Many businesses are focused on how to get the most product out of the cheapest labor which is very unethical. Ethics is a very diverse topic because all individuals are raised differently, I think that is is best if every business sets strict policies and standards that establish what is and is not. This video does a great job at explaining this topic, a very informative video.
