In an international business context, supply chain management faces both practical and ethical issues in its management of global relationships. Practical issues relate to logistics challenges like quality, costs, transport, and infrastructure across countries. Ethical issues involve the treatment of suppliers, environmental and labor concerns, and navigating different cultural and political environments. While both types of issues are important for effective supply chain coordination on a global scale, the document aims to determine whether practical or ethical challenges are more significant.
