taken by the chosen case with the Nespresso seminar case by addressing the following:
1. Taking a multi-stakeholder perspective – are there ethical dilemmas/conflicts that arise for the MNEs in the
context of the issues?
2. Given the conflicts that may have arisen, give your evaluation of the actions taken by the MNEs in
response to the issue?
3. Provide your assessment of how meaningful the social responsibility actions/decisions of the two MNEs
are in general.
