IntroductionThe conduct of multinational corporations in international trade depends greatly on how they ensure they adhere to business ethics that reflect globally accepted principles of right or wrong. In this context, multinational companies are therefore expected to develop ethical strategies that guide their action in international trade so that their operations do not violate these accepted principles.
