Newsoft is a computer software company that is setting up a new program design facility in a nation that the company has not had any relationship with before. Yusuf is the Human Resource manager for the entire company. He is considering two different candidates to be the Operations manager of the new facility, Maria (who is a woman) and Raj (who is a man). Maria is better qualified than Raj for this new opportunity and is Yusuf's preferred choice. Yusuf then learns from the Property manager, who has just returned from building the new facility, that this nation has a culture and laws that favor males in the workplace. Yusuf realizes that if he chooses Maria to be the new Operations manager, he will certainly be altering local customs and possibly violating the law.

Q1 . Who should Yusuf send to be the Operations manager of the new facility? (Please provide a decision and a full utilitarian or rights-based justification for your decision)

Q2 . If the case was changed in the following ways, would you change your decision and argument: a. Who should Yusuf send if the local customs and laws promoted a particular race and Raj was a member of that race? b. Who should Yusuf send if the local customs and laws promoted right-handed people and Maria was left-handed? (Please provide an explanation, including reasons, as to whether you would change your decision or not.)
