Alexander tries to bring out the immoral behavior seen by the corporate society. Alexander argues that all corporations should be held responsible for more than profit maximization.

He further rejects the traditional arguments that negotiation is unique to itself and is therefore not subject to the moral constraints as compared to other forms of human behavior.

Michigan, R., Schipan, C. & David, M., 2014).The FIFA Scandal: Ethics, Cost & Relativism. Sports Journal. Vol .53:150-163., United States.

Michigan Ross Faculty have studied comprehensively corporate scandals say that unchecked power and rationalization is a recipe for corruption. Secondly, a powerful organization may have lost its ethical compass and the society pays the price. Michigan Ross and Professor David Meyer argue that cultural relativism is made simple by FIFA leadership to rationalize behavior while a feeling of invulnerability kept it going. The FIFA organization has since held immense power over the world’s most popular sport. Professor David continue saying that with the little oversight, huge incentives and a domain focused very little on morality, definitely results to a great range of corruption and the society is compelled to pay for its cost on development.

David describes a scandal in FIFA where countries offer bribery of millions of dollars to gain some favors. “The money should have been invested in their counties to assist their citizens was wasted”., says Schipani, professor of business law.
