39. Explain why it can be difficult to recognize an ethical issue.
ANSWER: Failure to acknowledge or be aware of ethical issues is a great danger in any
organization. Although there are a number of relationships and situations that
may generate ethical issues, in practice it can be difficult to recognize them.
Some issues are difficult to recognize because they are gray areas that are hard to
navigate. The complexity of the work environment also makes it harder to
become aware of, define, and reduce ethical issues.

40. Describe the three foundational values used to identify ethical issues and why are they important.
ANSWER: The three foundational values widely used to identify ethical issues are integrity,
honesty, and fairness. Integrity is one of the most important and oft-cited
elements of virtue, and refers to being whole, sound, and in an unimpaired
condition. It is a value that relates to all activities, not just business issues.
Integrity also relates to product quality, open communication, transparency, and
relationships. Therefore, integrity is a foundational value for managers to build an
ethical internal organizational culture. Honesty refers to truthfulness or
trustworthiness. Honesty is necessary to form trusting relationships needed to do
business. Without honesty, business (and society) could not exist because no one
could trust anyone else to do what they said they would do. Fairness is the quality
of being just, equitable, and impartial. Fairness is needed to ensure justice as well
Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero. Page 23
as equitable relationships among stakeholders. Understanding these three
foundational values can help identify and develop discussions and a constructive
dialogue on appropriate conduct.

41. Explain why corporate intelligence is important to business and identify when it becomes an ethical issue.
ANSWER: Corporate intelligence is the collection and analysis of information on markets,
technologies, customers, and competitors, as well as on socioeconomic and
external political trends. It involves an in-depth discovery of information from
corporate records, court documents, regulatory filings, and press releases, as well
as any other background information about a company or its executives.
Corporate intelligence can be a legitimate inquiry into meaningful information
used in staying competitive. However, corporate intelligence can become an
ethical issue when unethical methods are taken to discover this information. For
example, stealing trades secrets or hacking into a rival company's computer
system might result in the gathering of corporate intelligence, but such practices
are both unethical and illegal.

42. Explain the concept of a conflict of interest and provide an example of one.
ANSWER: A conflict of interest exists when an individual must choose whether to advance
their own interests, those of the organization, or those of some other group.
Students’ responses will vary, but one notable example relates to the bond rating
agencies prior to the financial crisis. The agencies earned as much as three times
more for grading complex products. They competed against each other for ratings
jobs, contributing to lower ratings standards. Companies who were paying for the
ratings could also "shop around" the different agencies for the best rating.

43. Explain what bribery is and describe how active bribery and passive bribery differ from one another.
ANSWER: Bribery is the practice of offering something (often money) in order to gain an
illicit advantage from someone in authority. Gifts, entertainment, and travel can
also be used as bribes. The key issue regarding whether or not something is
considered bribery is whether it is used to gain an advantage in a relationship.
Bribery can be defined as an unlawful act, but it can also be a business ethics
issue in that an industry or even national culture may include such payments as
standard practice. Active bribery occurs when a person promises or gives a bribe,
actively committing the offense. Passive bribery occurs when an official
Copyright Cengage Learning. Powered by Cognero. Page 25
passively receives a bribe.

44. Discuss the factors that go into creating a hostile work environment and explain why it is a bad thing, providing an
example.
ANSWER: A hostile work environment occurs when someone (or a group) who is considered
a target is threatened, harassed, belittled, verbally abused, or overly criticized,
behavior that is known as bullying. A hostile work environment is also associated
with incidences of sexual harassment. To qualify as a hostile work environment,
the following three criteria must be met: the conduct was unwelcome; the conduct
was severe, pervasive, and regarded by the claimant as so hostile or offensive as
to alter his or her conditions of employment; and the conduct was such that a
reasonable person would find it hostile or offensive. A hostile work environment
can be physically and psychologically damaging to the bullied employee and
could set an organization up for legal repercussions. An example of a hostile
work environment would be one where an employee is told they will not get a
promotion unless they become romantically involved with their boss. Students’
examples will vary.
