HUMA 1745 Tutorial 5 Notes – Five Ethical Decisions: What Would You Do?

Introduction

• Assume that you are a middle manager in a company with about 1000 employees.

• How would you respond to each of the following situations?

• You are negotiating a contract with a potentially very large customer whose

representative has hinted that you could almost certainly be assured of getting his

business if you gave him and his wife an all-expenses-paid cruise to the Caribbean.

• You know the represetatie’s eploer ould ot approe of suh a paoff, ut ou

have the discretion to authorize such expenditure.

• What would you do?

• You have an autographed CD by Sam Roberts and put it up for sale on eBay.

• So far, the highest bid is $74.50.

• A friend has offered you $100 for the CD, commenting that he could get $150 for it on

eBay in a year.

• You know this is highly unlikely.

• Should you sell your friend the CD for what he offered ($100)?

• Do you have an obligation to tell your friend you have listed your CD on eBay?

• Your company policy on reimbursement for meals while travelling on company business

is that you will be repaid for your out-of-pocket costs, which are not to exceed $80 a

day.

• You do’t eed reeipts for these epeses—the company will take your word.

• When travelling, you tend to eat at fast-food places and rarely spend in excess of $20 a

day.

• Most of your colleagues submit reimbursement requests in the range of $55 to $60 a

day regardless of what their actual expenses are.

• How much would you request for your meal reimbursements?
