Wal-Mart De Mexico

The recent bribery allegations have threatened Wal-Mart de Mexico’s growth negatively and the problem must be solved. In my opinion, the best course of action to deal with this problem is to make the results of the investigation public, and take appropriate action against the executives involved in the bribery schemes. The most important thing is that we do not worsen the problem by continuing to cover it up and act like nothing happened. If we do not own up to the allegations and take the necessary actions against those involved, then we could lose a considerable amount of business. Since Wal-Mart’s creation its ethics policy has been “never cover up or ignore an ethics problem.” So, why should we abandon this policy now? In the short-term this decision will have numerous negative effects on Wal-Mart like limited expansion and losing sales. However, as we work to solve the problem customers will see that we are taking responsibility for our actions and are working to make it better.

The first thing that needs to be handled is making sure all employees that were involved in the bribery allegations face proportionate punishment. Whether it is through legal actions or within Wal-Mart, all involved need to face consequences to show everyone that we do not condone their actions and want to fix this situation. I think the most ethical course of action is to let the government decide the consequences for all those involved in the bribery. The decisions employees of Wal-Mart de Mexico made are serious enough that they deserve legal discourse.
