Scenario summary
Students are asked to assume that they serve as a senior human resource executive for a large multinational firm with individual plants in Malaysia, Thailand, and Pakistan and with suppliers in Asia. A new CEO has been hired who is an advocate for rights of foreign workers, staking his personal reputation on the ethical and humane treatment of the company's and suppliers' employees.
The senior human resource executive conducted an inspection of international operations and became concerned with less positive treatment of foreign workers in one of the company's plants and in a supplier's factory. The human resource executive communicated these concerns to the CEO, who asked that the human resource executive delay taking any action until after an upcoming shareholders' meeting, to avoid a possible stock price drop and negative impact on senior management bonuses (including the human resource executive's bonus).
