New markets, new challenges
Description
How can American employees compete against super-low-wage, no-benefits workers abroad? How can corporations call themselves American while outsourcing large pieces of their business overseas? And how can American companies deal with labor practices in other countries that would be proscribed in the U.S.? In this Fred Friendly Seminar moderated by Harvard Law School's Charles Ogletree, a 14-member panel including corporate executives from around the world, international financiers, and human rights and union activists explore the growing trend toward global business using the imaginary emerging-market nation of Xanadu. Panelists include Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International; Govindasamy Rajasekaran, secretary general of the Malaysian Trades Union Congress; Henry Schacht, chairman of the executive committee of Cummins Engine Company; and Norbert Walter, chief economist of Deutsche Bank Group.
