Case Study

A multinational’s corporate responsibility in a developing country: Monsanto in India, 2018, Institute of Management Technology, The Case Centre, code 718-0073-1

Questions

Q1: Identify Monsanto’s normative and derivative stakeholders in India and explain how the company should address their needs.

Q2: Using Rest’s ethical decision making model, analyse Monsanto’s strategy in promoting greater dialogue with different stakeholders in India.

Q3: Mahyco Monsanto Biotech met strong criticism from farmer communities and environmental organisations in India. At the same time, the corporation received permission to conduct large-scale field trials and continued to promote innovative biotechnology capable of improving cotton yield and corn production. Using evidence from the case study, critically discuss the evolution of Monsanto’s CSR strategy in India. In your opinion, is Monsanto a good corporate citizen?

Q4: Monsanto sees biotechnology as a key to food insecurity and malnutrition across the globe. Some studies show that genetically modified (GM) crops like Bt cotton deliver significant benefits to Indian farmers, while others show that GM varieties have made farmers more vulnerable to financial collapse due to huge debts and increased costs of cultivation. If you were a member of the Indian Government, how would you deal with requests for field trials of GM food from Monsanto India? Evaluate your decision using two different normative ethical theories: ethics of duties and utilitarianism.
