Implication of Ethics Without a Sermon on Nestle Infant Formula Case
The fierce competition in the marketplace and increasing case of involvement in 
unsolicited and inappropriate business expansion practices has evoked the urge of 
adopting ethical and morality based business practices. Although in normal course of 
action individuals and corporate avoid using unethical means but certain situational 
obligations induce them to go further. There exist no clear distinction and standard 
definition of the ethical and unethical practices however certain social and situation 
aspects helps in guiding the appropriate way of performing some obligatory tasks. Such 
social and situational framework based operational practices define the reliability extent 
of the individuals or organizations over the ethical practices.
 In order to understand the specific characteristic and its respective use in the 
business practices, a real world example can be discussed as the case of Nestle Infant 
Formula Case. Although company Nestle has not used any illegal or unethical business 
practices but the consequences of its business efforts have put it in the questionable 
area of ethical or unethical business approach. Nestle, which has efficiently deployed 
the same marketing strategy in the developed nation, is now questionable to the social 
and human welfare organizations for implementation of the same in underdeveloped 
countries of the African region. Nestlé’s respective marketing strategy, which has 
generated positive and efficient business outcomes in developed countries, has exerted 
significantly opposite influence on the target community.
 In order to address the comprehensive case scenario and the relevant facts of 
the case it became critical to adopt the 12 Questions framework of the Ethics Without a 
Sermon. Although all 12 questions of the respective framework are intended to examine 
the ethical compliance of the business decision and helps in its comparative evaluation 
but in this case the basic three questions will be able to demonstrate the relevant facts 
of the case, on the basis of which final assessment can be made. Most compatible and 
vital three questions of Ethics Without a Sermon, which can be used to reflect the 
relative facts of this case, can be expressed as:  
1). Have you defined the problem accurately? 
2). What is your intention in making this decision? 
3). What is the symbolic potential of your action if understood? If misunderstood? 
 These questions constitute the base for the analysis of the stated case and its 
relevant facts.
