Problem
You work for Cooks and Clothing, an International Cultural non-profit organization that provides food and clothing to over 25 countries worldwide. You were selected to host a global meeting with many other like-minded individuals, and a member from every organization represents each country. Some of the members on the board are from high context cultures that put a high value on establishing relationships before working with others and tend to take longer to negotiate deals. The other members are from low context cultures and get down to business, and tend to negotiate quickly.
Based on the scenario, predict what would happen in this environment's decision-making process.
i. Make a logical and well-reasoned description of the ethical decision-making processes you would go through in the international organizations, Cooks and Clothing.
ii. Would declining decision-making from low-context members be ethical even if the suggestions benefit the organization?
iii. Explain and provide examples.
