Ethics and the Gender Equality Dilemma for U.S. Multinationals"
What would be an ideal claim and supporting arguments?
With regard to issues of gender equality, multinationals can avoid both the dangers of ethnocentrism, i.e. insisting on domestic codes of conduct in a foreign setting, and cultural relativism, i.e. deferring entirely to practices of societies in which they find themselves operating, by endorsing the concept of minimum universal principles.
- Compliance with U.S. law on matters of gender equality is unrealistic in many foreign countries because of their laws and customs.
- Simply adopting the practices of the society in which multinationals find themselves operating would lead not only to accepting morally suspect practices, but to handicapping women employees inasmuch as they are denied certain career and employment opportunities in foreign countries.
- Adopting the concept of minimum universal principles with regard to gender equality provides a means to critique foreign business cultures within which multinationals operate, without insisting those cultures simply mirror U.S. practice.
