Drug tests in India

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, International School of Management, Hamburg Campus, language: English, abstract: Is it right or wrong? Ethics deals with many questions and plays a key role in the decision making process in businesses. Moral standards or norms in companies, for example codes of conduct, help to serve as guidelines in a professional environment. Furthermore there are global standards by organizations, such as the UN Global compact. In the particular case of "Drug test in India", one essential standard to be questioned is the respect of human rights. In the UN Global compact it says: "Business should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights" and "Business should make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses". Testing vaccine with known side effects on human violates this standard.
