Team Project Step 2 - Sub Group A

In the case of the Pegasus International Inc., the leading manufacturer of integrated circuits and related software with a focus on innovation, Pegasus has made significant strides in wireless communication. Pegasus wireless has already been selling well in the United States, Japan, and Europe but is eager to expand its company to China. China is expected to be a lucrative market for wireless communication. The ethical issue involved in this case is, China assigns frequencies and makes franchising choices on a city-by-city basis. A "payoff" is also necessary to get licenses.Other companies work around the issue of "payoffs" by hiring a company in China to handle the payoffs so that the CEOs can sign the disclosure statement.

From a utilitarian perspective, Pegasus International Inc. should expand into China and therefore consider payoff to be able to operate within the country. From the utilitarian view, the greatest good for the most significant number of stakeholders will benefit from the expansion to China. The company will purposely expand its company and therefore increase its revenue by an estimated $100 million a year, according to the wireless division manager. The reason why Pegasus International Inc. should expand their business to China as well, is because China is dependent on wireless communication. Since many parts of China are still considered underdeveloped, the Chinese government fears to expand its copper wires for communication in fear that it gets stolen. Because copper is considered a valuable metal, it has a high chance of being stolen during construction and then sold on the black market. The impact on the stakeholders includes any banks which provided the company with a business loan. The bank would encourage the company to expand, which will automatically increase profit for both stakeholders. Secondly, Pegasus International Inc. would be impacted as well. The companies goal is to expand its business to create long-term success. If the company does not expand into China, they will lose a huge amount of potential customers. With a population of 1.4 billion people China could potentially become their most most lucrative and profitable market. If Pegasus International Inc. decides not to expand into China they might not be able to succeed long-term. Another possible stakeholder includes any shareholder of the company. If shareholders sense insecurities about expanding the business to a more lucrative market they might decide to stop investing in the company and sell their shares. Japan could also be seen as a potential stakeholder since China and Japan are so close to each other Japan could invest into Pegasus International Inc. to expand their wireless communication system, which then could become a potential customer as well.

In retrospect to the utilitarian view, it would be best for the company to expand to China and consider hiring another company to handle payoffs to get licenses. Pegasus International Inc. does want to succeed long-term and the best way to do so is to expand its business into China. Most stakeholders will not be harmed by payoffs. Laws are completely different in China as compared to the USA or Europe, which will support their decision of expanding to China. Since Pegasus International Inc. does state that they want to be transparent at all times, it would be great to consider to the tell the truth about how they are able to do business with China and that it would be a great missed opportunity if they do not expand into China.

All in all, we only see two outcomes in retrospect to the utilitarian view. Not expanding to China will greatly impact yearly revenue and the opportunity to expand the business in the future, which will harm their values of creating long-term successful customers and create value for the customers. This decision can also harm their reputation in the countries they are already operating in. Shareholders might think the company is not able to grow, or even declines, and shareholders, investors, and banks decide to not work with Pegasus International Inc. in the future. On the other side, if Pegasus International Inc. shows that the company is willing to take risks and is ready to expand to other countries that are willing to support wireless communication, it will show shareholders, investors, and banks that they are financially stable and are ready to shift its focus to greater success and sustainable growth.
