Running Head: ReportIntroductionThe present case study relates to a statistical database programmer, Jeans who is engaged in writing a large statistical program for her company. Her work is delayed due to the complex nature of the work, but her manager pressurized her to submit the project within a few days. As aresult, she merged some parts of the code from the work of her co-worker and a commercial software package of another company into her work. Without mentioning these facts to her manager, she submits the work in a day[ CITATION BAy15 \l 1033 ].2
Running Head: ReportAnalysis of the situationThe present case discusses about the use of unethical means by the statistical database developer who is under pressure to submit the project in a few days without understanding the complex nature of the work. The course also takes notice of the employee who uses wrong techniques in order to furnish the work on time and hiding the same from the authorities. The ethical norms of the organization are not followed in the organization. It was unethical on the part of the manager to put so much pressure on the employee that there was no option left for her except to complete the project at any cost. However, whatever may be the circumstances, she should not have used the parts of the program of her colleague and commercial software package of another company. The situation has become more difficult by hiding the same thing from the management of the organization who are ultimately responsible for the rising as well as the downfall of the organization[ CITATION SGi05 \l 1033 ].The major ethical issue involved in the case is the wrong use of technology by Jeans, the software developer who is given such a responsible task for the betterment of the organization. Being in such a responsible position, he should have behaved ethically and should not have incorporated the parts of the work of other projects into her project. Moreover, she does not reveal the incorporation of the parts of the project from other sources to the management. Such type of activity on the part of the employee is unethical as well as bring negative effect on the organization. The manager is also equally responsible for breaking the ethical norms of the organization. He should have understood the problem of his employee and the complex nature ofthe work. Putting pressure on the employees to finish the project in a few days is unethical and such type of behavior is not acceptable ethically[ CITATION Ame10 \l 1033 ].3
