Discovery in the Amazon Case Solution
In a world of fluid borders, private and public managers frequently face ethical challenges that cross ethnic lines and recognizable geographic. The central focus of the case is a job to build a pipeline in Ecuador to take crude oil to a delivery point on the Pacific coast from Indian lands in the Amazon. Due to her business acumen and ability in working with representatives of a transnational association, the protagonist becomes a project leader for her firm-taking on managerial duties while being refused a managerial title.
The remarkable meeting with tribal members-including the ritual drinking of conventional chicha-creates a crisis of conscience that leads her to wonder whether her professional aspirations need willful indifference to the plight of native traditions. HKS Instance Number 1764.0
