Question

Due to certain strict environmental and employment standards in its home nation, Taurus Inc. has shifted its operations to developing nations. Hence, the firm has now been able to gain a competitive advantage by avoiding costly pollution controls and other cost-increasing regulations in its home country. This strategic move of Taurus Inc. would be judged fitting, according to which of the following:__________
A) Kantian Ethics
B) The Friedman doctrine
C) The righteous moralist view
D) The unrighteous moralist view

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": The unrighteous moralist view.

Explanation:

The unrighteous moralist view is studied with the purpose to highlight the behavior of companies that outsource their operations to other nations especially to regions with little to no government intervention, cheap labor costs, and soft regulations. The main problem under these situations is that domestic firms in the country where the foreign business handle operations perform those activities as if they were actually regulated. Then, foreign companies also take the same position to justify their wrong-doing.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Unrighteous moralist view / Naive immoralist view.

Explanation:

According to righteous moralist view , an international company is expected to abide and comply with the ethical standards of its home nation while operating  abroad.

In a situation where Taurus run abroad to avoid compliance to environmental and employment standard in order to gain cost and competitive advantage , he has violated the righteous moralist view , hence he is an unrighteous moralist or naive immoralist.
