In some cases, especially when organizations expand into foreign countries, they experience a form of culture shock when the laws of their new host country conflict with their internal policies. Suppose that SLS has expanded its operations in France. Setting aside any legal requirement that SLS makes its policies conform to French law, does SLS have an ethical imperative to modify its policies to better meet the needs of its stakeholders in the new country? Suppose SLS has altered its policies for all operations in France and that the changes are much more favorable to employees-such as a requirement to provide child and elder-care services at no cost to the employee. Is SLS under and ethical burden to offer the same benefits to employees in its original country?
