Having the sensitivity to recognize that products originally developed for consumers with very different needs or markets with very different characteristics should not be promoted where they are socially,culturally,or economically inappropriate.The transactional MNE would not be willing to have its own employees,or those of its subcontractors,work in the sweatshop-like conditions that we described in the previous section.Yet,although they conform to labor laws and workplace regulations,these companies still would be likely to maintain pressure on employees and suppliers to maximize the value of the legally lower cost labor that attracted their original investment.Compared to the exploitative MNE,the transactional MNE's attitude toward local communities no longer exhibits the indifference and irresponsibility of its less developed forebear.
