Global Technology Concerns. The subject of the third case study analysis is Google’s actions in China. Please read the following article, Why Google Quit China – And Why It’s Heading Back. (Links to an external site.) And, listen to the instructor video posted in the discussion thread below.

For this discussion answer the following questions in your initial post:

Transcultural global ethics always maintains the value of human rights. Have Google’s operations been consistent with the value of human rights? What example can you give to support your position?

Google is in the internet business, but many global operations include sourcing supplies that are sold elsewhere. What suggestions would you have for an organization that is seeking to enter the global market for sourcing products and services in order to support human rights and provide some standard for ethical transactions?

What role do bribes play in conducting business overseas? Are technology companies, which are eager to gain market share in growing economies, at risk of violating the provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?

In your replies, discuss the elements necessary to support an organization’s transcultural ethics policy.
