| Abstract | Counterfeiting has progressively become a major issue developing all over the world. Asia
and especially Thailand is concerned because it seems that this country has grown as one of
the most important birthplaces for counterfeiting. Despite anti-counterfeit programs, the
counterfeit manufacture in Thailand goes on developing, which affects prestigious brands.
In addition, it can be examined that there are motivations from the consumer's point of view
that push them to buy illicit goods.
But is counterfeiting ethic? It may be thought that counterfeiting is a sign of flattery, but
considering all the economic players involved in the counterfeit process, counterfeiting
appears as an unethical practice. Some players don't respect the rules of business ethics when
it comes to counterfeiting while some others are deeply affected.
To illustrate the counterfeit scourge both in a literature and ethical perspective, we can refer
on the experience of a company: Christian Dior. It is one of the biggest luxury product
indush·ies in Thailand and obviously the company suffers from counterfeiting.
As a conclusion, counterfeiting proves to be an increasing trend and a real matter of concern.
That is the reason why more and more companies join together to fight against it in many
ways. |
