进出口贸易
立法在过去几年持续的长期转移到海外采购。2002年的贸易法案于2002年7月由英国国会批准并由总统签署成为法律。这包含贸易促进授权法案,赋予总统一项贸易协定谈判的权利,给国会最终有权批准或不批准这些协议。根据康德,人类在创造中占据特殊的地位,和道德可以总结为一个终极的诫命的原因,或命令式,派生的所有职责和义务。(康德理论,2011)在我们的例子中,我们可以与管理需要决定一个整体决策如何考虑所有的道德困境中出现的情况。

进出口贸易
Legislation in the last several years has sustained the long-term shift to offshore sourcing. The Trade Act of 2002 was approved by the UK Congress in July 2002 and signed into law by President. This legislation contains the Trade Promotion Authority, which grants the president the right to negotiate trade agreements and gives Congress the final authority to approve or disapprove those agreements. According to Kant, human beings occupy a special place in creation, and morality can be summed up in one ultimate commandment of reason, or imperative, from which all duties and obligations derive. (Kant theory, 2011) In our case we can relate how the management needs to decide upon a holistic decision considering all the ethical dilemmas that arise from the situation.
