Question

How might different cultures respond ethically, morally, politically to the pressures of modern industrial management? Clue: when you see the word "culture" remember that it does not always mean "ethnicity". Think of culture of trades and craftsmanship compared to the culture of efficiency and profits. Consider also the difference in readings by Americans (with one culture) and Europeans (with a different culture).

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Different cultures respond ethically, morally, and politically to the pressures of modern industrial management in that they try to protect and maintain its own traditions and customs despite globalization and the continuing demand of corporation to produce more and more, not taking into consideration the human factor, the damage to the environment, and the respect for other cultures idiosyncracies.

It seems that modern industrial management is only focused on producing more results; more income through the selling of products and services. But they try to do this at all costs. Not considering people's way of thinking, belief systems, local history and traditions, and the respect of their own customs.

That is why most of the time multinational companies are not so well accepted in other countries. They created jobs, although most of the time are workers low paid jobs with minimum benefits. Some of these companies enter the country with fiscal privileges and pay minimum taxes and does not take care of the environment, wasting many natural resources that are much needed by the local people.
