Ethics and Firm Goals: Can our goal of maximizing the value
Ethics and Firm Goals: Can our goal of maximizing the value of the stock conflict with other goals, such as avoiding unethical or illegal behavior? In particular, do you think subjects like customer and employee safety, the environment, and the general good of society fit in this framework, or are they essentially ignored?
Ethics Regarding Promotional & Marketing Strategies

What are your thoughts on where the line is ethically as far as developing promotional strategies are concerned? Please support your thoughts with discussion.

Business Ethics and Decision-Making
Should a marketing manager or a business refuse to produce an “energy-gobbling” appliance that some consumers are demanding? Should a firm install an expensive safety device that will increase cost but that customers do not want? Are the same principles involved in both these questions?

Research Ethics in the Field of Psychology
Human research is common in the field of psychology, which raises many ethical questions. 1). If a question must be answered that has significant negative psychological impact on the subject, such as in the Stanford prison study, is it more ethical to use human or animal subjects? 2). Are there some research questions that should simply not be evaluated because of the potential for negative psychological impact the research would have on the human subjects?

International Strategy Ethics
1. Harry Stonecipher was more than the CEO at Boeing; he was the self-appointed ethics czar. He was ousted, however, after violating the code of conduct he himself developed. He had a (consensual) extramarital affair with a female executive at the company. The company saw some aspects of that relationship as being potentially embarrassing, and thought they compromised Harry’s ability to lead the company. Boeing’s reaction to a moral issue has some people wondering if corporate America has a whole new morality altogether. In an age when a president of the United States can “get away with” a string of affairs of various degrees of “consent,” a CEO who is eliminated for a consensual, albeit extramarital affair, at first glance is admittedly unusual maybe impressive? What is particularly unusual about the Boeing Stonecipher case is that the affair was consensual, it only happened once, and there was no sexual harassment suit. Thoughts? 2. Leading by example, so do you believe that people will follow? 3. What are ethics and who and what determines what is ethical or unethical? 4. As you pointed out we have been discussing ethics in the context of our American culture and ethical standards but as we are a global economy and every business is affect by globalization, what if for the host country it is the norm and legal, i.e. standard business practice/culture, but it is considered illegal and/or unethical here, then what thoughts?
