Document Summary
Something that keeps you from seeing acting unethically. Personal decision: fast thinking vs. slow thinking, business and fast thinking can lead to unethical decisions. Indirect blindness: example: kraft family, owners of patriots, involved in spy gate, having someone else do the dirty work. Sometimes know what doing explicitly and sometimes don"t. Slippery slope starts out as something small then grows. Conflict of interest bias, intentional or unintentional, in making a decision. In-group favoritism showing favoritism to a certain group of people. Misapplied incentives putting in an incentive that has an unintended outcome: not necessarily done with malicious intent don"t understand following effects. Ethical fading when you get wrapped up in the business (profits, revenue, costs) and forget about how decisions affect others: example: parents picking up kids from daycare late. Motivated blindness choose not to see something b/c it would hurt you: example: volkswagen passing emission tests illegally w/ software.
