The DSL de Mexico case series consists of four cases (one primary case and three one-page case extensions) which focus on the ethical dilemmas managers often face in international business. DSL is a $200 million, US-based shipping company which is relatively new to Mexico. The DSL (A) case documents the history of DSL in Mexico, reviews industry conditions and provides background on the devaluation of the Mexican peso. The case focuses on Lane Cook, the 28 year old General Manager of DSL de Mexico, as he contemplates how to respond to a questionable request by a potential customer. The accompanying DSL de Mexico (B) and (C) cases present a series of follow-up ethical dilemmas for Cook to address. The (D) case can be handed out at the end of the class period as an up-date. The entire case series should fill a 90-minute class.

Wal-Mart, ever since commencement of its operations in China, was firmly and consistently opposing unions in its stores in line with its human resource policy. However, after recognizing that the unions in China were different from those elsewhere, and after several negotiations and also under labor pressure, Wal-Mart had relented and entered in to an agreement with the All-China Federation of Trade Union (ACFTU), to permit unions of workers in its stores. The case focuses on the impact of this agreement on Wal-Mart, and also on foreign invested enterprises (FIE), the role of the ACFTU and the steps taken by ACFTU for unionization of Wal-Mart. The case also discusses the implications of the new labor laws proposed in China for FIEs. The case will help teach students about the role of the trade union in a corporate setting.
