This proposal outlines research into the ethical practices of a MNC, in relation to an international joint venture (IJV) agreement. The paper uses Shell in Nigeria and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to discuss the main objective of the research: do ethical theories explain the challenges that Shell faces in its IJV with the NNPC. The review of literature focuses on theories surrounding ethical practices in firms. The research strategy is described as being exploratory, and plans to use qualitative (interpretivism) research methods in the form of interviews with employees from Shell in Nigeria and the NNPC, as well as interviews with other IJV partners like Total and AGIP.
