are the ethical issues raised by this case?

The issue is company try to reduce the
cost by using several cost cutting program. In this program, there are many
things change to be worse such as the number of equipment operators on each
shift had been reduced from twelve to five and many of the best operators quit
and replaced with workers whose education was below that required by company.
The effect from this program is 2000 people death and 200.000 other peole get

the legal doctrine of “limited liability” apply to protect the shareholders of
Union Carbide Corporation (U.S.)?

No, The shareholders didn’t protected by
legal doctrine of limited liability. The company can’t pay the compensastion of
accident which killed 2.000 person and 200.000 others get injured. The
compensation had amount around $35 Billion, meanwhile the liability of company
reported only about $200 million. The company’s stock tumbled and the
shareholders losses of more than $1 billion. Finally, Company was close because
they were forced to bankrupt.
3. Were
the indian operations, which were being overseen by the managers of Union
Carbide Corporation (U.S.), in compliance with legal or moral or ethical
standards?
Jawab :
Indian operations is legal and has moral point
because they get blessing from indian government and Indian operations has a good purpose which is
to increase production of the pesticides, it desperately needed to raise food
for india’s huge population. But, they are didn’t do ethical standards well
because for reduce costs they make a program which called several cost-cutting
programs. In this program, the company try to reduce costs without considered a
risk of the program in the future.
