"Ethics Activity The executives of a clothing manufacturer want to outsource some of their manufacturing to more cost- efficient locations in Indonesia. After visiting several possible sites, they choose one and begin to negotiate with local officials. They discover that it will take about six months to get the necessary permits. One of the local politicians approaches the executives over dinner and hints that he can speed up the process for an advisory fee of $5,000.
