Industrial companies are considered the prime cause of environmental degradation. This is because these firms exploit natural resources on a large scale and release highly toxic substances and wastes. Industrial pollution is, therefore, a critical ethical issue that needs to ...

No doubt, any Western company that wishes to enter the Chinese consumer market needs to take the ordinary Chinese consumer into confidence. In light of earlier experience of some Chinese mothers with certain foreign baby food marketers, consumers of food products in China have now become all the more cautious about Western marketers. The enormous economic and demographic growth China has witnessed over the past two decades have made China the favorite market of consumer goods produced across the world (Kynge, 2007).
