BUSINESS VALUES AND ETHICS 1
CASE 1: Ethics at business
(A) No, It will not be ethical for him to open the envelop and see the bid of his competitor
as this would be considered as malpractice.The unethical behaviour is any kind of
action that falls outside whatever is considered morally right and in the above case, if
the person will look into the bid by the competitor it would be seen as morally
incorrect(Donaldson, 2015).
(B) If he will behave ethically, then in order to save his business he will have to look after
some other options, as a business person, he should understand the importance of
being ethical and he should think about other ideas to save in business from failing.
Case 2: Discrimination in the workplace
1. Marian should not quit, as she has been performing well and she is capable to doing
the job, as mentioned that she toped in the management training program and has
been enjoying in the firm. She should continue to work in that organization.
2. No, according to the case, I don’t think that there Co- workers are correct in their
evaluation as they all are just judging her ,because of the fact that she is a girl and is
doing good at the management position.
3. Yes, Marian should confront the Co- workers and ask them directly about the issues
they been facing with her and she should also confront the opinion her co- workers
have about her(Sroka and Lőrinczy, 2015).
4. Yes, she can file a discrimination suit as through the case it can be clearly seen that
the male co-workers are blaming Marian because she is a women and she is working
at a management position.

5. NO, I don’t think that she should go to the supervisor as he was also involved in the
conversation where everyone was complaining about her and her qualification; hence
she should talk to the higher authorities about the same.
6. Marian should not doubt her capabilities because of the things said by the Co-
workers. She should instead focus on her core beliefs and value and she should also
motivate herself in order to succeed and she should also prepare herself for the future
challenges (Seele, 2016).
CASE 3: Employee absence
1. NO, According to me the suspension was not fair at all because, the company should
understand the needs and the wants of working mother.
2. NO, Sylvia did not act in a responsible manner, because as a manager of the company
she should understand the situation of a working mother and she should look for an
alternative(Pullen and Rhodes, 2015).
3. NO, Joan she should not be fired, instead the company should discuss about the
issues of that she is facing and the reason behind her leaves and should come out
with an alternative.
4. Yes, The babysitter should be fired as she should have informed about her
unavailability beforehand, So that Joan could think of an alternative idea and would
have not missed office, if she was told about this earlier.
5. No, Sylvia was not fair in her actions as knowing the situation about Joan, who was a
working mother, Sylvia should have understood how important it was for Joan to stay
at home. She could have come up with some other solutions.
6. Yes, there are various solutions that a company can use for the working mother as
they can provide the working mothers will flexible shift timings, the company can
