Executive Manager: The research about the connection between global sourcing and the human rights atrocities and environmental violations that take place in many foreign factories is accurate in some cases, but not in all. If such atrocities or violations do currently occur, then companies should be compelled to act.

Given this, it is clear that increasing efforts to investigate wages and working conditions in these foreign factories is unnecessary. The Executive Manager would most likely agree with which of the following statements? A) Extra attention should be paid to the quality of the lives of the people working in the foreign companies, rather than just to working conditions.   B) There are no ethical reasons for the company to increase efforts to investigate wages and working conditions in the foreign…

Now too much of a good thing is causing problems: Many key battery materials, including but not limited to processed lithium itself, are in short supply and prices are rising sharply. Adding to the geopolitical risks for global auto makers is the supply chain concentrated in a country determined to make itself the EV capital of the world: China.   Lithium is the most spectacular example: Prices of lithium carbonate have quintupled in China from a year earlier, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.
