A manager from a developing country is overseeing a multinational’s operations in a country where drug trafficking and lawlessness are rife. One day, a representative of a local "big man" approaches the manager and asks for a "donation" to help the "big man" provide housing for the poor. The representative tells the manager that in return for the donation, the "big man" will make sure that the manager has a productive stay in his country. No threats are made, but the manager is well aware that the "big man" heads a criminal organization that is engaged in drug trafficking. He also knows that the big man does indeed help the poor in the run down neighborhood of the city where he was born. What should the manager do?

The manager should not make the donation as he knows that he is indirectly funding the organization that is engaged in drug trafficking. Even though the big man helps the poor in the neighborhood that does not justify his act of running an organisation of drug trafficking, Instead he should report it to the local authority so as to everything being taken care of, with whatever information he has about the big man. Thus he will be adhering to the social responsibility of himself and the organization.
