Who am I?

I work as a consultant on international business and have dealt with many businesses operating internationally. Recently, I have become increasingly aware and disturbed by the social and environmental impact of international business operations, especially in poorer or less economical developed countries (LEDCs), such as Ethiopia, Kenya and Madagascar which earn low income and less economically developed countries (LEDCs), such as China, Mongolia and Iran which earn low-middle income from selling goods and services.

The countries shown in blue are the high income countries.

The countries shown in green are the upper-middle income countries.

The countries shown in purple are the lower-middle income countries.

The countries shown in red are the low income countries.

I urge you to read this blog and understand the issues described and how it affects businesses operating internationally. Examples will be provided to show this. Ethical issues will also be described using relevant illustrations, giving links to specific resources that can be read by anyone and explaining what ethics are.
