Starbucks and fair trade coffee

Reference no: EM13301737

How does the last paragraph of the case, “Starbucks and Fair Trade Coffee,” show the difficulties in addressing ethical issues regarding a corporation’s responsibilities as an international social actor?

1) Policies and initiatives that are aimed at helping those who are economically disadvantaged must be properly thought through

2 ) An approach such as the “fair trade movement” can, while meaning well, turn out to do little to change the lives of the poor around the world.

3) Ethical assumptions such as “transparency”

4) and “workplace democracy” can do more harm than good when imposed on others by powerful US business interests, even when they mean well.

5) All of the above.
