Next, I want to focus on ethical issues in an international context. Again, based on your experiences, what are some issues/activities that you consider to be unethical behavior in purchasing?
Think back to the last time that you were faced with an ethical issue in an international context, where your values did not mesh with those of the supplier. How did you deal with this situation?Probe: If the respondent cannot think of an example of the values not meshing, ask for any other ethical situation with a foreign supplier.
