TERMS OF GLOBAL BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT IN ETHICALLY CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS: APPLICATIONS TO BURMA.

- Abstract
Today's international business environment is complicated by human rights abuses and social and economic repression in various countries. This paper introduces controversies with foreign investment in Burma to develop and describe alternative terms of global business engagement in ethically challenging settings. Two forms of engagement--unrestricted and constructive--and two forms of non-engagement--principled and sanctioned--are discussed. All four alternatives are examined for their ethical, social change, and cultural foundations. Additional considerations are posed in respect to constructive engagement, moral leadership by global business executives, needs for model building and evaluative research, and realities in the ethical context of global business.
