A SCRIPT ON ETHICAL DILEMMA
It’s in a meeting proceeding in the office of Common Wealth Bank’s Housing Loan
manager. Several brokers of the bank are in the house together with the manager’s
personal secretary. Everything seems okay apart from the anxiety of the shareholders to
know what the manager called them for.
Loan manager: Good morning?
All: Good morning too sir.
Loan manager: It’s my hope we are all doing well and going on with the job well. I’m happy
with the work we have been doing so far. The bank have been seen to
improve in performance as far as mortgages sales is concerned. The
number of customers we serve has drastically improved from 20% to 30%
in the last three months.
Broker: This is such a nice report sir. On our side as brokers we are doing all we can
to ensure that these sales rise even beyond 50%. We desire to see the bank
grow.
Loan manager: wow! This is very encouraging. I have some good news for you today. Due to
these improvements, our manager has introduced a strategy that will help in
shooting the sales even to higher levels. He has decided to involve the
staffs too in this process of improving our organization. We will be receiving
commission too depending on the number of successful sales we facilitate.
I have thought and decided to include you in this that you may gain
something too.

Mr. Mau: We are glad sir. In which way do you want us to be involved in this?
Loan manager: alright, this is how we will go about it. You are going to earn yourself $1000
for every client you will bring me. How do you love it?
Broker: It’s a good deal sir, I can’t wait to start it. A thousand dollars is quite a huge
amount of money. No one would ignore such an amount.
Mr. Mau: I have a concern sir, where are you going to afford compensating us with
amount of money. I feel it’s quite high for you.
Loan manager: That should not worry you, I have it sorted. The same customers we are
bringing will cater for the cost. We will double the interest rates of the
loans we will offer them. However this should remain a secret
among us if we want to reap much from it. I hope I can trust you.
Broker: Sure! You can.
Mr. Mau: I have an objection sir, adding the rate of interests is not fair to our customer
since we are not giving them anything in return for the added cost. This is
illegal and against our ethics too.
Loan manager: I don’t think this should be an issue at all. We all need money and this is a
deal that you cannot find in any other place. Grab it and run. I guess we
should be discussing on how to maximize sales. We will also be urging
our customers to apply for large amounts of money if we want to get high
commissions too. Are we together?
