Scenario: You are a vice president of a multinational chemical corporation. Your company is the sole producer of an insecticide that will effectively combat a recent infestation of West African crops.

The minister of agriculture in a small developing African country has put in a large order for your product. Your insecticide is highly toxic and is banned in the U.S. You inform the minister of the risks of using your product, but he insists on using it since his people might face famine due to the threat of insects. He claims it will be used “intelligently.”

The president of your company believes you should fill the order, but the decision ultimately is yours.

(cited from Bateman, T.S., & Snell, S. (2013). Management: Leading & Collaborating in a competitive world. New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Irwin.)

Your decision will be to fill the order. You should defend your decision by listing out the ethical issues involved, the related ethics theories, the process and rationale of your decision making, the potential risks you may face, and how to minimize such risks. Cite sources to support any facts you state or points you make in your argument. Make sure you are using sources that are reliable and unbiased, and preferably scholarly.
