Question

Jonathan is the expatriate manager of his company's facility in Indonesia. He expects the exact same standards of working conditions, wages, and labor management in the Indonesian facility as practiced by the corporate office in the United States. His policy does not always lead to profits because of the vast cultural differences between the two nations. What straw men approach to ethics is Jonathan using? a. naive immoralism b. cultural relativism c. righteous moralism d. sullivan principles e. just distribution

Answer 1

c. righteous moralism

Step-by-step explanation:

Jonathan is adopting the concept called righteous moralism.

Righteous moralism is an ethical aspect that defends that the standards of work ethics that a company has in its country of origin, be preserved and respected when that company decides to open a branch in another country, even if the employees have another nationality.

We can see this in the question above, because Jonathan wants to maintain the ethical levels that were adopted in his country of origin, while he manages a branch abroad, even if these ethical levels are not defended culturally in the foreign country in which he is.
