Economics Taster Lecture

Speaker: Dr Sabina Crowe, Assistant Professor in Economics

Date: Monday 8th November 2021, 4:30-5:30pm (GMT)

When work conditions in a host nation are clearly inferior to those in a multinational’s home nation, which standards should be applied?

While 12-hour workdays, extremely low pay and child labour may be common in some less developed nations, does this mean that it is okay for a multinational company to tolerate such practices in its subsidiaries?

Should a multinational corporation feel free to pollute in a developing nation or would that not be ethical?

This taster lecture delivered by Dr Crowe aims to answer the questions above and provide a brief discussion on the ethical, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability issues faced by international businesses.

The taster will also include an introductory overview of studying at NCH, and there will be ample time for Q&A with Faculty and Student Ambassadors.
