MAN 320F Exam 3 Aroian Questions and
Answers
information,values - Answer -Martha McCaskey works for a division of Praxis that specializes in industry analysis. McCaskey's current project requires her to obtain proprietary __________ about the competitor of her client. All solutions to successfully complete the project result in a compromise of McCaskey's _____.
Devon,4000,uncomfortable - Answer -The first alternative includes setting up another meeting with ______ and paying him the $____ for the information needed. McCaskey feels ___________ with this alternative because it compromises her personal values of honesty and integrity. However, she is also lacking confidence in whether this really is just a "gentleman's industrial espionage" - something that sounds less dishonest.
Kauffmann,information,honesty,integrity,less - Answer -The second alternative includes her handing over the second interview with Devon to Kaufmann.__________ has much experience in obtaining information that is considered proprietary in the past. In addition, McCaskey will still be promoted to group manager if she does not conduct the second interview with Devon herself. As long as Praxis collects the necessary ___________ about the manufacturing processes and costs for building a new type of computer chip McCaskey will be promoted. The main problem with this course of action is that it still conflicts with McCaskey's personal values of ________ and __________. The main benefit is that she can rationalize that her hands are slightly ____dirty in the process.
reporting,behavior - Answer -The third alternative includes McCaskey __________ this unethical ________ to a superior of Praxis. Because there are no formal written guidelines that discourages a Praxis employee to gain what may be considered proprietary information by paying a large sum to a contact, McCaskey must present this information to upper management that will enforce regulations to be met. In addition, Praxis is made up of four divisions with the Industry Analysis Division very separate from the other three branches. These branches may be unaware of the practices taking place in Industry Analysis Division; therefore, McCaskey may feel it is pertinent to inform them of such practices. This would be a courageous move for McCaskey and may carry great benefits. If guidelines are set she may feel her personal values are more compatible with Praxis's and more importantly Industry Analysis's values; thus, she will continue working for Praxis. However, it is possible even though, Praxis' company regards itself highly in terms of "professional standards" (page 2), they may be
uninterested in hearing McCaskey's side and handling the situation. McCaskey is also putting her job on the line if she chooses this alternative to the dismay of her IAD superiors. She may also be committing herself to engaging in a long, drawn out investigation of IAD's practices.
leave - Answer -The last alternative includes McCaskey deciding to not finish the project
and _____ Praxis completely. She feels the company has put her in a difficult position where she is to compromise her values. Consequently, she may choose to leave Praxis and seek a company with corporate values that better suit her personal values. In this alternative, McCaskey also must decide whether to still inform her direct superiors, Praxis executives, and possibly the companies that the proprietary information is being gathered about. Again, in these decisions, McCaskey may be committing herself to drawn out investigations or possibly hurting her reputation in the industry.
quit,disclose - Answer -In conclusion, we strongly believe it is best for McCaskey to ___ Praxis and find other employment that more accurately aligns with her personal values, and if, the situation ever arises where she is questioned about the practices at IAD later on, she should comply and ________ any information on the practices.
talk,display - Answer -They ___about ethics, but do not actually _____ethical behavior.
honest,unethical - Answer -Martha is an _____and upright person, but has done something that are _______.
slope - Answer -Martha has started to go down that slippery ____.
