Factores que promocionan la falta de ética en las prácticas de producción y logística de las empresas transnacionales

Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to collect and present the factors that promote and affect the international textile production in a framework characterized by unethical and regulatory asymmetries. The economic situation that currently prevails, the clarification of elements and processes that facilitate the interconnection of actors that make textile production possible is required, from tiny workshops located in remote countries, to places nearby of powerful centres for the decision making. The article reflects on issues affecting poor practices in textile manufacturing processes, which cannot be solved solely from business schools or institutionalized currents. The possibility of creating value by being ethical, is evident, —at least according to the law— while that may promote production systems away from any moral and dehumanized but blessed by much of society, as sales volumes reflect. This document of research concludes through a series of reflections about the need to develop future research to deepen on the role that international organizations have, when they discharge their responsibilities either by action or omission, as well as the types of possible corrective actions when the transnational corporations gravitate around the circles of power.
