Student's Post Week 3 - Research Paper Example

post week 3 Roddrick Could you consider integrity and conflict of interest as some of the ethical principles that apply to your d situation? Integrity defines honesty and truthfulness to expectations and obligations while conflict of interest defines differences between a person’s interest in a subject and his organization’s interest. Your scenario identifies your interest in offering services to the Indian customers and you are convinced that they are entitled to the services while your organization has offered a contrary directive and this tested your ethics on whether you could pursue the organization’s interest or your personal instincts.

Principle of integrity also tested your ability to be honest and truthful to your organization regardless of your contrary opinion to its policy (Birdsall, 2005). While being ethical, with respect to the two principles, would protect your organization’s interest and foster its corporate image for respecting intellectual property rights, it would hurt the Indian buyers who already felt that they were victims of discrimination. I also believe that your post did not respond to the question accurately because the question required identification of three ethical principles and exploration of consequences of either implementing or violating them.

#2: Paper LeahI like your post that develops a realistic scenario for ethical evaluation and your ethical analysis over the situation. I however believe that reviewing ethical principles instead of ethical theories would have been a more accurate response to the discussion question. You could have discussed principles such as honesty and respect of other stakeholders to the simulated organization. Being honest to the organization’s ethical guidelines and respecting minors’ personality by refusing to recruit and overexploit them would establish the organization’s corporate image and save it from legal liabilities (Piper, 2002).
