The answer to this question is. Identify the issues raised by the situation.

Before a company could even begin in making an ethical decision, they first need to know what is considered as 'ethics' in the society where they operate.

Another example would be if the company want to operate in india, the company should not choose to distribute cow meat to begin with because that animal is considered as sacred in that country
