A market that has long been dominated by the corporate players like Nokia, Samsung, and Sony now face a tenacious domestic threat defined by a grassroots culture spreading within China. Shanzhai companies as they are referred to in this case study have gained a steady market share in the recent years on the big corporate players.

    Albert Einstein once said: “I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it”. This is one way to understand the definition of ethics. Naturally when a person is asked about the meaning of this word, the answers are always related to the term morality, which is practically true. In fact, ethics is a concept that a person uses in order to determine what is right or wrong; however, it differs from one person to another.
