Activity : Far-East Designs
You have discovered that the company you work for, Far-East Designs, has been running plants in Vietnam for the manufacture of a women’s designer clothing line you sell. A customer brought this to your attention and asks how you can justify the fact that he or she should continue to buy from you when you are taking advantage of foreign workers who continue to live in poverty. You return to your company president and share your concerns. His claim is that the workers are paid at a level far above the minimum wages set forth by the local government. In fact, they have excellent working conditions and are happy workers.
The company president tells you to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for the customer, which supports the work that is being done in Vietnam. Your task is to develop a PowerPoint presentation justifying salaries and working conditions in Vietnam and defending your company. Be sure to provide illustrations of your company’s policies relating to the issues you discuss. Refer to several of the standards covered in your reading to strengthen your argument. Your presentation should provide a logical and consistent argument that supports your company. Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style. (100 points) (A minimum of 15 slides is required in your PowerPoint presentation.)
