The U.S. Pineapple industry alleged that producers of canned pineapple from the Philippines were selling their canned pineapple in the United states for less than its fair market value (dumping). In addition to canned pineapple, the Philippine producers exported other products used as pineapple juice and juice concentrate. these products used separate parts of the same fresh pineapple used for the canned pineapple. All these products shared raw material costs with the canned fruit, according to the producers' own financial records. To determine fair value and anti-dumping duties, the pineapple industry argued that a court should calculate the Philippine producers' cost of production and allocate a portion of the shared fruit costs to the canned fruit. The result of this allocation showed that more than 90 percent of the canned fruit sales were below the cost of production. Is this a reasonable approach to determining the production costs and fair market value of canned pineapple…

It has worked hard to develop a successful approach to encourage high ethical standards among its suppliers, including standards concerning the notoriously difficult issue of child labor. IKEA's initial plan to combat the use of child labor by its suppliers involved (1) contracts that threatened immediate cancellation and (2) random audits by a thirdparty partner. Despite these safeguards, the company discovered that some of its Indian suppliers were still employing children. IKEA realized that this issue would crop up again and again if it continued to use low-cost suppliers in developing countries—a critical element in its cost-containment strategy. 2020-2021 Page 7 of 8 Using child labor, for example, can signal bigger problems: production inefficiencies that require the lowest cost labor, lack of…arrow_forward
- Indian Coffee Company, a coffee roaster in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sold its Breakfast Cheer coffee in the Pittsburgh area, where it had an 18 percent market share, and in Cleveland, Ohio, where it had a significant, but smaller, market share. Late in 1971, Folger Coffee Company, then the leading seller of branded coffee west of the Mississippi, entered the Pittsburgh market for the first time. In its effort to gain market share in Pittsburgh, Folger granted retailers high promotional allowances in the form of coupons. Retail customers could use these coupons to obtain price cuts. Redeeming retailers could use the coupons as credits against invoices from Folger. For a time, Indian tried to retain its market share by matching Folger’s price concessions, but because Indian operated in only two areas, it could not subsidize such sales with profits from other areas. Indian, which finally was forced out of business in 1974, later filed a Robinson—Patman suit against Folger.

- Charter of Rights and Freedoms In 1988, the federal government introduced a legislation, Tobacco Products Control Act, created in complete and total prohibition on all advertising and promotion of tobacco products in Canada. The act also required a health warning of a specific nature to be put on tobacco packaging and prohibited the manufacturers from putting any other information on those packages. The manufacturer challenged the legislation before the Supreme Court claiming that it interfered with the manufacturer’s right to freedom of expression section 2 (b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 1) Do Supreme Court has legal right to interpret the legislated law? 2) Does law infringe the freedom of expression of the charter?

This policy helped the organization deal with a major ethical challenge after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Red Cross received more than $1 billion in donations and initially diverted some money to ancillary operations, such as creating a strategic blood reserve. After donors objected, however, the organization reversed its decision and – honoring donor intent – used the contributions to directly benefit people affected by the tragedy.

CSR policy functions as a self-regulatory mechanism whereby a business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards, and national or international norms. With some models, a firm's implementation of CSR goes beyond compliance and engages in "actions that appeár to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law." The aim is to increase long- term profits and shareholder trust through positive public relations and high ethical standards to reduce business and legal risk by taking responsibility for corporate actions. CSR strategies encourage the company to make a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others. Every year,…arrow_forward
