Abstract: | This paper raises the question of how ethical issues arising out of social inequities involving international business in
developing countries can be represented, and articulates a conceptual framework that identifies and maps four different approaches
to representing or making sense of such issues. A fieldwork-based case study on the child labor issue in Pakistan’s soccer
ball industry illustrates the argument that representational practices do matter, and that when representational approaches
go awry, they end up savaging the well-being of the poor in the developing world.
