    Monsanto Ethical Business Analysis

    Monsanto is a powerful company with a history of making what many would find questionable or unethical business decisions in the quest for profits. “Many stakeholders are concerned about the moral and safety implications of genetically modified food” (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). If I were Monsanto’s CEO, to balance the conflicting needs of the variety of stakeholder groups that the company must successfully engage, I would first place labels on the products. Although the FDA determined Americans do not need to know when they consume genetically modified products the company would state the fact on labeling like it does in other countries. Also, I would continue to donate to programs that focus on improving communities in developing countries.…

    Monsanto's GMO Foods

    People should be allowed to make policies for the government that affect former corporations, as long the are the right decision is being made for the safety of the public. Of these federal initiatives, the 2010 African hunger plan and the 2012 Farm Bill are important examples of the Obama administration's gift to Monsanto (globalresearch.ca). This will increase the food supply of destitute areas of Africa for a cheaper price and higher production rates than the local conventional crop. But the outcome for the local farmers will be devastating because Monsanto’s GMO foods will inundate the African market causing the local farmers to go out of business.
