But drug company having outrageous price escalation may probably be as a result of transportation, Tax and other important fund dependent issues that has to be settled prior the products getting to foreign market....but right back at the place of manufacturing, the price of the product remains low. so if the price of a product gets high as a result of those factors i stated then that is when i consider the company being ethical in their decision but anything asides that is really unethical.

Thanks for your comment ! Agree, the main goal of an entrepreneur and business is to make a profit and stay in business, providing a legal product/service . However, would you consider the Mylan Pharmaceutical case of pricing of its EpiPen drug dispenser product "outrageous price escalarion" My point is excessive management self serving at the expense of the customer. While incentives-bonuses are good management practices, there are the ethical considerations as well.

Seems to me "planned obsolescence" is a design parameter for corporate and dealer sales/support profitability? While there are ethical - profitability balancing trade offs, some companies aim on maximizing profits/shareholder value and self-serving executive bonuses at expense of customers, employees and societal responsibility. For example, recent drug company syringe dispenser outrageous price escalation.

The Eurasia Group Foundation (EGF) has released its report on public attitudes towards U.S. foreign policy. Senior Fellow Nikolas Gvosdev notes that, like the project on U.S. Global Engagement at the Carnegie Council, EGF is attempting to get at the twin issues of "the chasm which exists between the interests and concerns of foreign policy elites and those of ordinary citizens" and "the reasons why Americans are increasingly disenfranchised from foreign policy decisions being made in Washington."SUBSCRIBE TODAY
