4 page paper… apa format. use the book and the cases only. log in will be provided after

There are three attachments to this assignment. One is the grading rubric for assessing International Skills. This will demonstrate the requirements for addressing each of the questions for this assignment. The other two documents are assigned reading this week and will outline the information necessary to answer these case questions. Chapter 11 and 12.

It will be very important to use proper APA writing skills and grammar. The submission is worth a potential 50 points.

The questions you answer will include each of the following:

1. How important is it for companies such as Nike and Wal-Mart that source extensively from foreign suppliers located in countries where wages are low and substandard working conditions are common to have supplier codes of conduct and to have programs to monitor and ensure supplier compliance with these codes of conduct?

2. Who has the strongest supplier monitoring program—Nike or Wal-Mart? Why?

3. Would you recommend that a company join the Fair Labor Association and use its mechanisms to monitor supplier compliance instead of trying to set up its own supplier monitoring and compliance effort?

4. What can a company do to detect and combat the efforts of unscrupulous foreign suppliers to deceive inspection/compliance teams?
