Writing Assignment Prompt:

Assume that you are a high$-$level manager for a building supply manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by producing its products in Indonesia, where you could hire women for $$100$ a month to assemble them. You also know that human rights advocates recently accused a competing manufacturer of engaging in exploitative labor practices because the manufacturer sold products made by Indonesian women for similarly low wages. Based on the data you have collected, you have learned that in Indonesia, $$100$ a month is a better$-$than$-$average wage rate for women.

Write $300$ words explaining whether you would have the products manufactured in Indonesia and make higher profits for the company or avoid the risk of negative publicity and potential adverse consequences for the firm's reputation. Are there other alternatives? Discuss fully.
