AI Summary
This report examines ethical issues faced by Woolworths, a major Australian supermarket chain, focusing on its unethical practices and their implications. The report identifies two key issues: substandard commodities potentially harming consumers, and involvement in child labor scandals within its supply chain. To address these issues, the report applies two ethical frameworks. Utilitarianism is used to analyze the first issue, suggesting that actions should maximize overall benefit, but also considers the company's responsibility to integrate ethical practices. Deontology is applied to the child labor issue, emphasizing the inherent wrongness of certain actions regardless of their consequences. The report concludes that business leaders must consistently apply ethical decision-making processes and integrate ethical frameworks into their operational choices to address unethical practices. The report provides a framework for addressing such issues and a practical guide to business ethics. The report cites relevant academic literature to support its arguments.
