Inappropriate business practices
Ethics business case study: You have recently accepted a new, and better-paid, job and are due to start in a week. At interview, the company explained its charging system. On reflection it appears that customers are charged inflated rates that exceed agreed fixed prices. You are beginning to feel uncomfortable, and worry that you might be doing the wrong thing accepting this position.
Integrity – If your assessment is accurate, should you associate yourself with this kind of practice? How can you withdraw with integrity?
Objectivity – How can you overcome the risk that that your self-interest (better pay/ career opportunities) will cause you to accept the role, despite your concerns?
