Executive Manager: The research about the connection between global sourcing and the human rights atrocities and environmental violations that take place in many foreign factories is accurate in some cases, but not in all. If such atrocities or violations do currently occur, then companies should be compelled to act. However, in my opinion, among the foreign companies from which our firm buys parts and components, there is no consistent and visible proof that any such acts have occurred. Given this, it is clear that increasing efforts to investigate wages and working conditions in these foreign factories is unnecessary. The Executive Manager would most likely agree with which of the following statements? A) Extra attention should be paid to the quality of the lives of the people working in the foreign companies, rather than just to working conditions. B) There are no ethical reasons for the company to increase efforts to investigate wages and working conditions in the foreign factories from which it sources. C) Most foreign companies are guilty of some degree of human rights atrocities and environmental violations. D) U.S. companies that participate in global sourcing should not take responsibility for the working conditions and wages in foreign companies. E) Sweatshops and deplorable wage and working conditions happen very rarely in the world of global sourcing.
