CASE STUDY: SAMSUNG’S ETHICAL
DILEMMA OF CHILD LABOUR
Aims to outline a moral reflection on a
case study in which a significant-tech
manufacturer Samsung is implicated in
conducting illegal work practices. The
paper will critically analyze the ethical
dimensions of the dilemma from the
perspective of the utilitarian ethical
theory. It will be argued that according to
the fundamental principles of the theory,
the company’s behavior can be construed
as unethical since it fails to maximize the
happiness of all involved stakeholders.
FROM THE UTILITARIAN THEORY

From the utilitarian theory’s

perspective, Samsung’s unwillingness
to enforce just labor guidelines on its
contractors can be regarded as
unethical. Senior executives of the
tech giant decided to disregard
reports of illegal and immoral labor
practices at HEG Electronics’
production facilities.
 Working conditions
• In 2012, an independent advocacy organization, China Labor Watch, issued a report that pointed to Samsung’s entanglement in
numerous violations of the labor law (Arthur, 2012).

• The report detailed the results of three investigations on hiring and labor practices of a major Samsung’s contractor—HEG
Electronics (“Investigative report,” 2012). The findings presented in the document suggest that the company’s factories commonly
utilize child labor.

• China Labor Watch’s undercover investigators discovered that seven kids were involved in operations on HEG Electronics’ factory
floors during two months of 2012 (“Investigative report,” 2012).

• The company’s production lines also relied heavily on student laborers that comprised approximately 80 percent of the factory’s
total personnel (“Investigative report,” 2012).

• The series of investigations helped to shed light on discriminatory hiring policies of Samsung’s contractors that were based on sex
and age. Also, hiring managers of the company were prejudiced against disabled applicants and those with tattoos and long
hairstyles, which is individuality-based discrimination.

• The report showed that excessive overtime was a prevalent feature in all production settings of HEG Electronics (Thomson, 2012).
 Conclusion and Recommendations on above case:

The paper has provided the results of the analysis of Samsung’s ethical dilemma. It has been argued that in the
pursuit of shareholders’ value maximization, the company’s senior executives disregarded the interests of a larger
group of stakeholders; therefore, their actions can be construed as unethical. Also, the disregard of the moral
dimension of employment practices shows that the CSR model of Samsung is substandard. Therefore, the
organization is recommended to:

severe ties with

all contractors
conduct a
that do not
thorough
follow
investigation;
international
labor standards;

revise its restore damages

strategic CSR to all affected
framework; parties.
