BUSINESS
ETHICS
1. Analyze the ethics of
marketing Publius using utilitarianism, rights, justice, and caring. In your
judgement, is it ethical to market Publius? Explain.
2. Are the creators of Publius
in any way morally responsible for any criminal acts that criminals are able to
carry out and keep secret by relying on Publius? Is AT & T in any way
morally responsible for these? Explain your answers.
3. In your judgment, should
governments allow the implementation of Publius? Why or why not?
1. Fully explain the effects
that payment like those which Lockheed made to the Japanese have on the
structure of a market.
2. In your view, were
Lockheed’s payments to the various Japanese parties “bribes” or “extortions” ?
Explain your response fully.
3. In your judgment, did Mr. A.
Carl Kotchian act rightly from a moral point of view ? (Your answer should take
into account the effects of the payments on the welfare of the societies
affected, on the right and duties of the various parties involved, and on the
distribution of benefits and burdens among the groups involved.) In your judgment,
was Mr. Kotchian morally responsible for his actions ? Was he, in the end,
treated fairly ?
4. In its October 27, 1980,
issue, Business Week argued that every corporation has a corporate culture –
that is, values that set a pattern for itsemployee’s activities, opinions and
actions and that are instilled in succeeding generations of employees
(pp.148-60). Describe, if you can, the corporate culture of Lockheed and relate
that culture to Mr. Kotchian’s actions. Describe some strategies for changing that
culture in ways that might make foreign payments less likely.
1. In your judgment, is it
wrong, from an ethical point of view, for the auto companies to submit plans
for an automobile to China ? Explain your answer ?
2. Of the various approaches to
environmental ethics outlined in this chapter, which approach sheds most light
on the ethical issues raised by this case ? Explain your answer.
3. Should the U.S. government
intervene in any way in the negotiations between U.S. auto companies and the
Chinese government ? Explain.
1. In your judgment, do the
managers of the Robert Hall store have any ethical obligations to change their
salary policies ? If you do not think they should change, then explain why they
have an obligation to change and describe the kinds of changes they should
make. Would it make any difference to your analysis if, instead of two
departments in the same store, it involved two different Robert Hall Stores,
one for men and one for women ? Would it make a difference if two stores (one for
men and one for women) owned by different companies were involved ? Explain
each of your answers in terms of the relevant ethical principles upon which you
are relying.
2. Suppose that there were very
few males applying for clerks’ jobs in Wilmington while females were flooding
the clerking job market. Would this competitive factor justify paying males
more than females ? Why ? Suppose that 95 percent of the women in Wilmington
who were applying for clerks’ jobs were single women with children who were on
welfare while 95 percent of the men were single with no families to support.
Would this need factor justify paying females more than males ? Why ? Suppose
for the sake of argument that men were better at selling than women; would this
justify different salaries ?
3. If you think the managers of
the Robert Hall store should pay their male and female clerks equal wages
because they do “substantially the same work” then do you also think that
ideally each worker’s salary should be pegged to the work he or she
individually performs (such as by having each worker sell on commission) ? Why
? Would a commission system be preferable from a utilitarian point of view
considering the substantial book keeping expenses it would involve ? From the
point of view of justice ? What does the phrase substantially the same mean to
you ?
1. What are the legal issues
involved in this case, and what are the moral issues ? How are the two
different kinds of issues different from each other, and how are they related
to each other ? Identify and distinguish the “systemic, corporate and
individual issues” involved in this case.
2. In your judgment, was it
morally wrong for Shawn Fanning to develop and release his technology to the
world given its possible consequences ? Was it morally wrong for an individual
to use Napster’s website and software to copy for free the copy righted music
on another person’s hard drive ? If you believe it was wrong, then explain
exactly why it was wrong. If you believe it was not morally wrong, then how would
you defend your views against t he claim that such copying is stealing ? Assume
that it was not I illegal for an individual to copy music using Napster. Would
there be anything immoral with doing so ? Explain ?
3. Assume that it is morally
wrong for a person to use Napster’s website and software to make a copy of
copyrighted music. Who, then, would be morally responsible for this person’s
wrong doing ? Would only the person himself be morally responsible ? Was
Napster, the company, morally responsible ? Wash shawn Fanning morally
responsible ? Was any employee of Napster, the company, morally responsible ?
Was the operator of the server or that portion of the Internet that the person
used morally responsible ? What if the person did not know that the music was
copyrighted or did not think that it was illegal to copy copyrighted music ?
4. Do the music companies share
any of the moral responsibility for what has happened ? How do you think
technology like Napster is likely to change the music industry ? In your
judgment, are these changes ethically good or ethically bad ?
1. Discuss this case from the
perspective of utilitarianism, rights, justice and caring. What insight does
virtue theory shed on the ethics of the events described in this case ?
2. “ In a free enterprise
society all adults should be allowed to make their own decisions about how they
choose to earn their living.” Discuss the statement in light of the Lily case.
3. In your judgment, is the
policy of using homeless alcoholics for test subjects morally appropriate ?
Explain the reasons for your judgment. What does your judgment imply about the
moral legitimacy of a free market in labor ?
4. How should the managers of
Lily handle this issue ?
