The ire is pointed in the right direction, but the issue isn't not rooted in ethics, it's rooted in measurability. Management decisions were made as if things that could not be measured could be disregarded.
Surely someone must have had a vague sense that relying on $9 per hour software development might not be a wise choice, but in a "managerialistic" environment, the concrete cost savings are taken into account, and the vague sense is not.

is this not the result of there being very little ideological differences between MBA graduates? I would even attribute this to a lack of ideological differences in (US) society as a whole.
Economic and managerial schools only seem to teach one ideological viewpoint, which in term results in there being very little recourse on what would be the right way to tackle a situation, philosophically and ideologically speaking.

Misaligned incentives cause good people to make bad decisions.
the reasons for the paucity of corporate ethical behavior is complex and varied, but certainly one cause is we've collectively capitulated to the supremacy of the profit motive, and there's just not enough perceived (direct) benefit in doing so.
