I define ethics as doing the right thing even when no one is watching. Outsourcing is a difficult decision for management to make but at times it is necessary for future profitability and to gain a competitive advantage for the company. The goal of a company is to make money for stakeholders. When stakeholders are stockholders, the legal owners of the company, they expect to have their investment protected. It may be better to outsource and loose a few employees than to go bankrupt and loose hundreds possibly thousands more. Savings from outsourcing could be reinvested into the company or passed down to customers by reducing prices. The company must do what is best to stay operational.

When outsourcing is inevitable management should be sure that wages are fair for workers in the new country. Working conditions are also important to ensure employee safety. Paying employees extremely low or having unsafe working conditions for the sake of higher profits is unethical. It can also hurt the brand if the public finds out about deplorable working conditions. Employees abroad should be treated with the same decency as employees in America.
